Well, please do correct me if am wrong, but I have always had the notion that most instances of extreme wealth throughout the history has always been built on some kind of unethical (unethical is a very mild word in my opinion) activity, or let's say some activity that was unfair to a large amount of other people.

Consider the wealth generated by Bill Gates or Mark Zuckerberg. I can't take away from them the fact that they worked hard when they saw a great opportunity and made themselves insanely wealthy in doing so, but history will may not judge their actions in a way that they are shown as messiahs.

So I find all this discussion just a bit hypocritical to be very honest.

Comments most welcome to change my, rather cynical, opinion.
