How the hell did Sheldon Adelson get three votes?

I had the same question. If one only looked from his support for Israel, well, its specifically for Likudnik politics that bring international pariah status. In US politics, he's an unmitigated disaster.
How the hell does George Soros only have 1 vote? He did more than any other private individual to undermine communist dictatorships in Eastern Europe in the 80s.

I also have kind words for Ray Dalio, who like Gates and Buffett is pledged to give away most of his wealth, and continues to put out messages like this.

did something bad come out about Gates to prompt this revive
not that I'm in favour of billionaires under any circumstances but

But also Neanderthal's. The least evil billionaire is the billionaire actively working to divest his wealth such that he's no longer a billionaire. Which, I suspect, describes not one of these fine folks.

Charlie Munger did not crack this top 50 but this interview about his prison-dorm design is so good

lol this poll winner would definitely be different today

Definitely one of the most dated polls I’ve seen on here. Musk and Bezos not even on the list.
― Chris L, Monday, 8 November 2021 20:13 (two years ago) link
Oh wait I see Bezos now.

some of the people on the list get the name of their corporation but some just get "candy" and "ball bearings" which makes it sound like they just have the most candy or ball bearings
49. Stefan Quandt; Net Worth: $15.6 B; Source of wealth: BMW 39. Georg Schaeffler; Net Worth: $18.1 B; Source of wealth: ball bearings 29. John Mars; Net Worth: $23.4 B; Source of wealth: candy 28.

Also, before anyone brings it up, Musk is an American citizen and his companies operate here.
― Chris L, Monday, 8 November 2021 20:16 (two years ago) link
I don't think Bezos or Musk could ever qualify as 'least evil', regardless.

ball bearing riches

Definitely not, although I have to wonder if Soros would still get just one vote.

Bezos vs Musk would be a good poll, Bezos is more evil I think but Musk pisses me off way more
― frogbs, Monday, 8 November 2021 20:40 (two years ago) link
Musk being a cult of personality is his worst feature, because he has no fucking personality
― Cool Im An Situation (Neanderthal), Monday, 8 November 2021 20:41 (two years ago) link
We have a more recent poll of the most evil billionaire who got richer in 2020, it was a dead heat between Musk, Zuck and Bez IIRC

MacKenzie Scott (ex-Mrs. Bezos) might now get my vote.
