Mark Zuckerberg Insists Billionaires Should Not Exist: ‘No One Deserves That Much Money’
The Facebook CEO is already facing backlash for this and other recent statements
Facebook’s CEO Mark Zuckerberg, one of the wealthiest people in the world, just said he agrees with socialist Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) that billionaires should not exist.
Sanders last month brazenly told The New York Times, “I don’t think that billionaires should exist.”
The senator — still a 2020 candidate for the Democratic nomination for president — went on to say he has plans for a wealth tax and what he’s calling a national wealth registry.
“This proposal does not eliminate billionaires, but it eliminates a lot of the wealth that billionaires have, and I think that’s exactly what we should be doing,” Sanders insited.
As for Zuckerberg, who is worth — oh, about $69 billion or so — he was asked about Sanders’ comments during a Q&A session with employees on Thursday.
“On some level, no one deserves to have that much money,” Zuckerberg said of billionaires, as The New York Post and others reported of his remarks.
“I think if you do something that’s good, you get rewarded.”
