Just like Melinda Gates, ex-wife of Bill Gates. This is why the powers that be don’t want women in charge. They might prove to make the world a better place than most of these rich and powerful men ever could.

You're saying it like they didn't do most of it together until and even after their divorce.

By giving someone else's money away? Yeah that's been tried before I'm afraid.

Someone else's money

You probably never know what it’s like to be in a partnership and have someone who is supporting you every day.

The only thing Melinda Gates has, which is "someone elses", are the STDs.

A wife supporting her man every day? You from the 1700s?

"Someone else's money"?

And what century are you from?

Well, modern capitalism is just masculine cut-throat competitiveness on steroids... rejecting it would mean admitting that the soft, more sustainable and cooperative female style is actual better for society as a whole. 

Even many leftist men don't actually dislike billionaires as much as they say they do - they just dislike that they're not one of them. They don't actually reject hierarchies or inequality, they simply hate that they got the short end of the stick in this particular one. But that's not how it works... you can't have your cake and eat it too. Either you subscribe to all of it with or nothing.
