    Did people read the article? He’s been doing sperm donation for 15+ years, and wants to leave his inheritance to also be split with the kids that have come from sperm donation. Isn’t this a good thing?

    It’s not like he’s personally impregnated women for 100+ children. Which it seems to be what the comments here are reacting to?

    Not saying this billionaire is a saint or anything, but it really doesn’t look like people here are reading past the headline…

        Because we live in corporate dictatorships so wealth redistribution is the devil.

          It’s fine if they are his bastard children, just as long as he has some blood relationship to the people he redistributes the wealth to

          That’s not weird at all…

            In a 100 years, we’re going to have wars between the scions of the various Sacred Houses of Silicon Valley, as people kill one another for being part of a heretical bloodline.

      That’s not the issue though I think most people think it’s gross because it was specifically done to get as many progeny as possible. I’m not arguing he’s a racist or bigot but the quiver full mentality is specifically racist.

      Would have been a legend if he did though.
