It's because you only hear about the loud ones. There are lots doing good work.

In particular Lauren Bezos and Laurene Powell Jobs.

Warren Buffet is essentially bequeathed the majority of his wealth to good causes.

A lot of the work of the Bill and Melinda Gates foundation is phenomenal (despite the recent and disturbing Epstein news).

George Soros has funded a lot of good causes, depending on how far you want to believe the conspiracy theories.

Harris Rosen funded free daycares and university tuition to benefit an impoverished Orlando community.

Dolly Parton's philanthropy is legendary.

A lot of the Robber barons (Andrew Carnegie, Rockefeller's) bequeathed to causes that Americans are still benefiting from today.

Yvon Chouinard, Founder of Patagonia, pretty much gave the company away for environmental causes.

Chuck Feeney pretty much gave away 99% of his wealth.
