To paraphrase what others said: that’s a great way to become a multimillionaire, but to get to a billion you have to step on a lot of toes. I think Bill Gates observed that your quality of life doesn’t really change after about 50 million. Even with inflation, by the time that’s a billion, billionaire won’t be what people target. Hell, 40 years ago people dreamed of being millionaires. Inflation adjusted that’s only 3 million now.

If you were really that philanthropic, why would you carve out a billion from that revenue stream instead of giving back, or investing it in better equipment or people?
