Donating $1B to help accelerate land and ocean conservation

$1B? This guy gets my respect. He's putting his money where his mouth is.

Talking heads like Matt Damon (who rents luxury yachts for solo use and flies jets across the ocean for convenience) earn my total contempt.

For a guy like me, hearing about Mr. Wyss's efforts move the needle. My thanks go to him.

there are some interesting articles about modern philanthropy and how many billionaires are finding it harder to give their money away than it is to make the money in the first place.

says a lot about how broken our society is.

To be fair, someone like Matt Damon would not get any privacy if he traveled with other people.
