I think even zuck would have given up on any political aspirations at this point. He's a total pariah.

Honestly, who wants to be a billionaire at this point? Even if you promise to give away 99% of your money everyone still hates you.

Nah, everybody loves Warren Buffett.

The annoying thing with most billionaires is not that they have and spend a lot of money, but that they try to force their values onto the rest of us via lobbying, "charity" and other actions designed to leave a legacy. Newsflash: if you don't try to subversively manipulate the world with your gazillions of money as enabling tool, you don't need to redeem yourself by giving 99% of it away.

Not that giving it away is a bad idea, because dynasties suck.

People seem to like Bill Gates a lot. And half the country really likes Trump.
