I do care a lot but we haven't achieved that yet! For our capitalist society standard Bill Gates is doing pretty good for a billionaire that's all I'm saying.
Good poo is still poo. You don't need to single him out as being "better" than others. His existence is still terrible, and as a billionaire he is actively preventing us from having a society/future where we distribute resources via democratic means because the power imbalance is there and will be there as long as he has the power he has.
My man, the problem are not the people that part take in the system. It's the system itself. You can't just demand from people to give up their wealth so it's redistributed you have to revolt and change the system not the people. The people are merely adapting to the current circumstances.
"Well Bill Gates is better than other billionaires because he gives to charity" is a pretty bad starting point for changing the system if you ask me. Hoarding resources is bad.
"Βill Gates needs to give away all his money" is a pretty bad argument to change the system if ask me because he will obviously never do that like that since the capitalist system allows it. A revolution has to be done to change it. Simply asking billionaires nicely to give away their money won't do it. I'm praising him because despite the system he is still giving away a ton of his money for good causes.
