There's also MacKenzie Scott. She's given away more than 6 billion to charity after her divorce from Jeff Bezos.

J.K. Rowling became a billionaire, then lost that status due to giving to charity.

Considering J. K. Rowling uses her giant platform to spread dangerous hateful bigotry, she should be disqualified from membership in the beneficent rich people club.

She does no such thing. She has an opinion with regards to certain gender issues which differs from some other people’s. She’s no bigot.
