Why aren’t they generally respected as attempting to use their status and resources to “give back” ?

It would be easy enough for most to take their wealth and go do their own thing, without worrying about anyone else or any other issues.

If you suddenly became famous and/or rich, which to you think you’d do ? (see poll)
