So being a successful human being is gauged solely on the size of one's bank account?

No, but saving thousands (millions?) of lives through philanthropy goes a long way towards making up for being kind-of-a-dick-sometimes.

So its OK to act crappy now as long as you do something philanthropic later with the money you made while treating people badly? What is that called humanity arbitrage?

I don't think that basic human decency is something you should keep in a ledger to run credit and debits against.

If you got rich wholly or partly through wrong doing I don't understand how you can assign them any of the credit for giving some of it away.

Imagine if I mugged you for $100 and gave $20 to the red cross?

Terrible strawman. Travis didn't mug anyone.

The driver in the video claims otherwise.

And his claim is ridiculous. Do you actually have a point to make?

Years from now, he will donate to charity and do philanthropic things and all will be forgotten. Just like another billionaire we know.

I'm not sure. Unlike other millionaires and billionaires (lot of them donate money), Bill is actually working directly on the fields and giving almost all his time to improving Health and Education in the world. That's something big and I really appreciate him for that. Had he been 'only' giving money, I wouldn't be moved much.

For all you know, zuck and Travis will do the same in future.

Not sure if you know how many companies and lives, gates made bankrupt with his shady business practices. No different from Travis here.
