I just took a quick look at the first person on your list: Judy Faulkner of Epic Systems Umm - a healthcare company selling patient health records. I'm willing to bet a lot of those records were not obtained through ethical disclosure and most patients would refuse to have private details of their health sold to anyone who wanted it. Ok, let's take a look at the next: Hamdi Ulukaya from Chobani https://www.kirkland.com/news/in-the-news/2014/04/chobani-ce... Right. I'd better stop now. | ||

My point exactly. Your grand slam-dunk evidence that all billionaires are unethical is that: 1. One started a healthcare company, and bad things happen in healthcare, and you aren't going to look into any more than that. 2. One is a rich man being sued by an ex-wife who wants his money/stake in his business. By these standards, not only are there no ethical billionaires, but there are also no ethical millionaires, or thousandaires, or taxpayers, or politicians. Because they're almost all going to be a degree or two of separation from someone or something doing something unethical or making a claim. "Ethical" is such a high bar that no one meets it, and it becomes a meaningless standard. AOC herself isn't ethical[0][1]. [0] https://www.cnn.com/2025/07/25/politics/house-ethics-aoc-met... | ||
