I used to frequent a men's club (when I was a man) that had extremely wealthy men as members, some billionaires, a lot of people worth hundreds of millions. This included corporate CEO's, founders, famous businessmen, etc. I would often ask them since they have so much, why couldn't they be more giving (in their business side of things). They all basically told me the same thing, if they did something like that, the shareholders would fire them for not squeezing every last penny out of the company. Technically they have a legal (fiduciary) responsibility to their shareholders above their employees. And that includes only "doing right" by their employees and giving to good causes to the extent that it makes them look good and shuts people up. And corporate philanthropy is a big sham, it's just another marketing tool. They want to look good, they don't measure and couldn't give a shit about the results. (One of the few exceptions with philanthropy is the Gates Foundation, and why is that? Because it's Bill's money!)

So I asked them OK, what do you like to do with your time now that you've reached the apex of success, and can't achieve your personal goals with the company. They mostly responded, "come to the men's club and socialize, sing songs, and drink". In some ways I don't blame them. I guess I wish people like that weren't such insane workaholics that they learned a little bit more about life. But at least they were being honest with me.
