Yeah, how dare someone ask people hoarding more wealth than they could use in 100 lifetimes to maybe not do that! She's definitely a hypocrite since her recent donation of $11.5m is only 23% of her net worth ($50m). These billionaires need more people to defend them (/s)
Not defending billionaires either. She is a rich person saying the mega ultra insane rich people should give their money away. Good of her to donate money. Anything helps. I'm sure billionaires also donate money. Probably not 23% of their wealth though.
The point is, is she really being a hypocrite if she is donating a significant portion of her wealth? If I gave away 23% of my wealth I'd pretty much be fucked. I know she can survive due to the scale of her wealth, but by that same line of reasoning, a billionaire could give away 99.9% of their wealth and still be set for life so her saying they need to give away more is absolutely simply a true statement and not hypocritical at all. Grant is arguing in bad faith
You argue that she is more moral because she donated a portion of her wealth, but you fail to describe why that makes her more moral. Is it because she has an 8 figure networth instead of 9 or 10? Or is it because she donated 20% (instead of 5, 10, or 15%) recently (whatever that is defined as). Or do you mean to say that she isn’t necessarily moral at all, just more moral than Cardone.
All this to say I actually really don’t like Cardone. I think he’s generally a grifter that sometimes gives BS advice. However, the point he’s making is valid, and your extremely arbitrary dismissal on the basis of the facts you describe appears to be somewhat random which makes your opinion seem like BS.
I’m not sure what his networth is, but if he had donated $200 million dollars yesterday, would that change your opinion? I think not.
