How philanthropic could he have been if he died a billionaire?

What did he take with him?

'Billionaire philanthropist' is an oxymoron.

billionaire philanthropist is an oxymoron

I love happy endings..

I’ll miss you Uncle Walter.

A smart guy, hard worker and an investor who made money and gave it away as opposed to lazy ass Mr Mittens who wants to give other peoples money away and vilify’s success.

At that last second of life the net worth of all us is the same…

I think he mentioned me in his will……

Yea! One down many to go.

🤷🏻‍♂️

Literally no such thing as a philanthropic billionaire when people are dying in poverty. Hoarding wealth isn't philanthropy.

Billionaire or pauper, it's where we all end up

Too bad.

Wonder who gets all his money?

You can't take none of it with you .

One less trump supporter to throw away his money on trump

All these billionaires are “philanthropic,” y’all just added that in hopes of curbing all the incoming “good, another dead billionaire” tweets.

So fucked up that the first word used to describe someone hoarding wealth is 'philanthropic.'

Yeah, I live in omaha and we have a huge poverty and mental health problem. Kids go hungry and people are shot everyday. Poor families are evicted and homelessness is on the rise. So what exactly did his billions do here? Bc I don't see a damn thing. Buffett can suck it too.

You wouldn't have a billion if you were truly philanthropic

Not sure keeping billions of dollars is legitimately 'philanthropic'. Good done while obscenely rich doesn't jive with my understanding of philanthropy. Not asking anyone to live in poverty, I just think there should be a limit to the wealth any one person can have.

Philanthropy is a sham, all billionaires are bad

'Philanthropic' = Top PR Advisors

His legacy at the Omaha Zoo will last generations. This zoo-loving Florida family makes the trip to Omaha because of people like Walter Scott.

If he died a billionaire then he wasn't much of a philanthropist.

Spread the wealth homie 🙏

Fewer billionaires is a good thing.

Sweet !

how much of his Billions did he take with him?

this is terrible news

RIP.

Oh no a billionaire died how sad :(((((

NPR Cookie Consent and ChoicesI observed the entire ACIP meeting yesterday. It was a difficult vote. The weight of the limited scientific evidence, at this point, may not have favored boosting otherwise healthy 18-64 year olds. However, this is a very emotionally charged issue. I think she went with her gut. Is there an official list of occupational settings that qualify. Curious if teachers can get boosters. What’s the point of having a panel if she can just make the damn decisions herself?
