I have been hating this man's guts since the mid 90's and somehow it never lets off. Most hateful people manage to become a little bit more likeable as they age. Even this disgusting piece of human refuse Bill Gates might pass for a somewhat okay human being if you wilfully overlook why he truly does philanthropy.
But Larry Ellison? Hell no. He never changes. he's just consistently the worst year after year, decade after decade.
why does he truly do philanthropy?
To evade taxes of course.
Have you ever asked yourself how it's possible that ALL the fucking ultra-rich almost without exception do philanthropy?
It doesn't make sense: most of those millionaires and billionaires are psychopaths who essentially don't give a shit about their fellow man, acquired their wealth by exploiting and shafting others for the most part, and don't give a shit about how that makes them look: why on Earth would any of them do philanthropy, let alone all of them?
It only starts to make sense when you understand philanthropy is yet another tax loophole.
