I'm only following to make sure he's really dead. The world could use less billionaires

The world isn't going to get his money. Things aren't suddenly become fair in the world because a billionaire died.

Clearly. One less dragon hoarding untold wealth though

While true, his billions aren’t going to be distributed to the poor, a dead billionaires money goes to a dead billionaires family who probably deserves the money even less but feel owed the money even more than he did.

I get where you are coming from, but there was a lot of coverage of that event back in May.

Also, billionaires should not exist.

Because a bombing in a war isn't unexpected no matter how tragic it is.

Whereas it's rare that a group of multi-millionaires tries to visit the Titanic in a MacGyver-esque hobby submarine.
