The rare few wealthy folk I've met who genuinely try to spend some portion of their wealth to actually improve the world around them are truly doing the right thing. It's their responsibility for the privilege of being allowed to accrue so much more wealth than everyone around them, which would be simply impossible to do without the hard work of the many folk who worked for (and sometimes with) them to achieve that wealth for them in the first place. Giving back a bit in genuinely positive ways to a society that allowed (and helped) their wealth to even happen is just simply the correct "thank you" (no matter how hard they may have worked or sacrificed themselves in the process, as they absolutely did not become that wealthy all by themselves). At least a couple few of the very wealthy folks I've known who "gave back in kind for their good fortune" were genuinely nice (but "wickedly" smart / "sharp as a tack") people who really did deserve their wealth, as they weren't just rich kids in adult bodies like so many of the "personality cult" folks that society so foolishly worship solely because they're rich and "cult-leadery" (and often for no other remotely valid reasons).
