If I have a choice I prefer that rich spend millions on space than on mansions and vanity cars.

If I had a choice, I prefer that these millions were spent in a way that's governed by the same democratic principles that ultimately enabled generating them.

World governments spent $35 trillion last year and will spend a similar figure this year and the next and so on. I don't think a whole lot of good would come from them spending $35.1 trillion instead for one year.
I do however believe that all of the Bezos backed ventures could produce a lot of good for mankind over the next 40 years or however long he lives.
Does that same apply the the money you have?
