    Idk though, gold-digging the worlds most repulsive people to get half their worth just to donate what they never would seems like a noble endeavor. And swindling the billionaire class through romance, just to Robin Hood it away is a public service we should be praising.

      I wouldn’t disagree, lol. But MacKenzie Scott married Bezos in good faith years before he became the Lex Luthor of capitalism.

      Personality wise, type attracts type, and usually in that kind of marriage you have two highly motivated acquirers of wealth instead of just one. Which is to say that someone willing to marry for excessive wealth is probably not going to be the kind to give it all away after years of swallowing knob to get it, any more than Melania Trump is about to become a noted philanthropist or Anna Nicole Smith devoted her life to charity. (Nothing against Anna Nicole, just sayin.)
