They could always end world hunger 4 times over (granted, so could many many entities), but they'll probably use it to make more money.

World hunger is a $30 billion a year problem? Americans spend $15 billion on bottled water. If we stopped that we'd fix half the problem:

In fact, $30 billion is a rounding error in a $15 trillion economy.

Women's luxury market is $250 billion/year.

Anyway, I really don't understand why you'd add noise to this conversation.

Not really. If all you're doing is feeding hungry people then you're just creating more hungry people.
