A Gen Xer sold his company for $1.6 billion. He kept less than $100 million and gave the rest away because he doesn’t ‘believe in billionaires’
EXCLUSIVE: Brian O’Kelley says he’s capped his wealth to $100 million. The tech founder tells Fortune, billionaires are wasteful, out of touch, and “othered” from real life.

Grok spewing hate speech is a prime example of how extreme wealth sows division and spreads toxicity in everyone's lives. The richest man in the world shouldn't be allowed to poison public attitudes about racism and antisemitism with no accountability.

June 2025 was the 3rd-hottest June on record. Extreme weather is wreaking havoc across the country. We know that just 57 cement or fossil fuel companies were responsible for 80% of CO2 emissions from 2016-2022 – and yet the GOP tax bill handed Big Oil a $1 billion tax break.

Americans didn't want billionaires to get another tax break. In fact, likely voters overwhelmingly agree that billionaires pay too little in taxes already.
74% of likely voters think billionaires pay too little in taxes. This includes 72% of independents and 60% of Republicans. Only 5% of likely voters think that billionaires pay too much in taxes.

AI is creating new billionaires at an unprecedented pace and everyday Americans are footing the bill. The data centers required for AI consume a massive amount of electricity and strain electrical grids, driving up energy costs for millions of people.

The AI explosion means millions are paying more for electricity
Across much of the eastern U.S., electricity bills have jumped. The reason? Data centers required for AI and other tech wonders are driving up electricity demand.

Massachusetts collected nearly $3 billion more in tax revenue thanks to their millionaire surtax. Analysis by The Budget Lab at Yale shows that implementing a federal surtax of 10% on Adjusted Gross Income above $1 million could raise $1.5 trillion over the next ten years.

The ultra-rich are not just the worst polluters–their donations to climate action are also another way of hoarding money and gaming the system
Each year, only 0.5% of the money sitting in private foundations and donor-advised funds goes to climate action.
