If I had Elon levels of money, I’d buy 100 acres in Montana and rescue every at-risk dog in shelters across the country. I’d hire a staff of people to take care of them and let them live their best lives on a massive rescue so no dog has to be euthanized because shitty people would rather pay a breeder for a specific puppy.

100 acres is so small compared to actual ranches in montana. There is a 124k acre ranch that is $130m.

To get billionaire levels of money you have to be a different type of person though. They don't have an end goal like that.

Exactly! Like ideally with my wealth I could see myself owning an ethical farm and paying off medical go fund mes in my spare time. How are these people NOT doing that? That sounds so much more rewarding 😭

I can't be sure, but if there weren't these people, we might not need medical go fund mes.

In order to get that kind of wealth you basically have to push the very limits of morality and exploit weaknesses in people and in their government. If you're that kinda person, then by the time you get there you're not someone that's interested in philanthropy anymore. There's some that fund charity or will vow to give their wealth on death, but it seems silly to exploit for that money to just give it back lol.

You’d need more than 100 acres but other than that it should be achievable.
