Depends how they made their fortunes. A. Carnegie made his bux off the sweat and toil of underpaid/overworked labor, but he took part of his fortune and endowed libraries in small towns all over the US. H. Ford made his bux the same way, but at least he had the sense to pay his workers a wage that allowed them to buy the product they assembled.
