Well, sort of. But, the good news is that the Zuckerberg's and the Gates are a growing phenomenon among what I consider to be the "new rich". A significant number of these billionaires are pledging to give away at least 50% of their wealth for "worthy causes."
Yeah, it's kind of like a bank heist.
It was a team effort fella's and it couldn't have been done without you.
So how about, 50% for me and 50% for the rest of you.
What's not fair about that eh?
That's pretty generous. The old Robber Barons were like "take the 10% I am offering because tomorrow it will be 5%. And the day after that you won't need money".
