if you take away their wealth what have most of these celeb billionaires accomplished? zuck created a website that got popular that wasn't even the first of its kind. it was just popular...
and if it disappeared tomorrow i wouldn't give two fucks. humanity survived for thousands of years without facebook and instagram and it hasn't been a benefit to society. it didn't solve a problem that needed to be solved--we already had myspace and photobucket and the local classified ads.
why are we treating rich people like celebrities just for being rich, especially ones who don't impact your life in any positive way? that's the real issue.
i never knew who the CEO or creator of gillette was even though i shave my face every day. that guy deserves more recognition.
