Interesting, I guess the last thing we want to do is wish ill on the rich amongst us. BUT with the current set-up, the sooner they die the better, if you consider the worthy benefactors that will die before being saved.
Robin Hood and Entitlements: Why We Need the Rich!
Robin Hood stole the money. Little John and the Merry Men gave it to the poor. Who were the real victims? Everyone! But you’ll have to read to find out why!!
Agreed, and from this article “Between the two extremes of billionaires’ charities and the public’s spare change exist a broad spectrum of philanthropists supporting a multitude of charitable concerns. To assist philanthropists in reaching those in need, community foundations have sprung up in some UK counties. For example, the work of the Essex Community Foundation involves “identifying common interests and developing strategies designed to bring philanthropists closer to the work of recipients.”
I like how the Laudes strategy is designed to help accelerate the existing movement towards a climate-positive and inclusive economy. Which will help alleviate the need for charity.
During the development of our five-year strategy and theory of change, we consulted 300 senior leaders, changemakers and experts to gather their insights to enable us to chart our discoveries onto a dynamic map of the global economic system.

Yeah, I see why it could be called noble, rather than ethical… “Ethical investing, or ESG, has been a buzzword on the edges of the investment industry for decades… Do we all need to be wary of greenwashing and cynical grabs for assets? In this video, Laura Suter explains all.” Maybe it’s not as sexy as it sounds. (?)
Having an investment version of the philanthropy awards would be a good thing, and could be presented to the public better, I agree. But I wonder how many people realise they have never even heard of the biggest giver on the list you linked to:
Jamsetji Tata $102.4 billion Education, healthcare
Bill Gates $75.8 billion Healthcare, extreme poverty, education, access to information technology
Warren Buffett $32.1 billion Healthcare, education, AIDS-prevention, sanitation
George Soros $32 billion Healthcare, anti-fascist publications, human rights, economic, legal, and social reform
These philanthropist investor winners are just presented as lists, it should be a top-10 countdown every week like the music charts was on tv. Make them heroes, not just names and invite them to private events. How is the world to know if Bill Gates or Jeff Bezos do the most for the world with money they have made from it? Respect to the winners, whoever they are though.
Answer (1 of 9): I once read somewhere about why people like Mark Zuckerberg and Steve Jobs would wear the same basic clothes all the time even though they have the money for hiring a personal designer and hairstylist. It’s because they have so many other important things to do that they don’t w... Read more
Though there are arguably many downfalls of fame, one of the greatest aspects of celebrity is having a platform to influence others, to use your fame and your wealth and your voice and your actions to make a positive impact on society. One of the…
A hair-raising collector’s item can fetch as much as $300,000 from crazed superfans across the globe. Paul Fraser, a British celebrity hair supplier from Bristol, sells bunches as well as single st…
They have a fair bit of catching up to do, to be fair. Pop stars may be better at distributing wealth than politicians. But yeah, a site that lets them bid highest to be at the top would serve their egos and publicity requirements all in one go. Does a site like this already exist?

Not so fast…. rob/eat/kill the rich is now a thing for some.

Top 10 philanthropists are celebrated in jazzy ways. If giving is rewarded by God, then more power to them.

An ‘Ethical’ award exists already and the UK event is coming up soon. Not sure if noble is the right word, but I like the idea.
just our luck…
got to say this was a good idea, it should be a regular thing.
You can buy Beethoven’s hair. Bet it was knicked from him though, nothing for charity.
It’s got to be a thing. There are buyers out there already. Odd though.
