I can assure you the vast majority of billionaires did not become that by caring about creating jobs. They cared about the return. A return that does not have to come matched with creating good jobs.
Assuming you're American I believe you still have people in gov that got rich because of their family starting a pyramid scheme. I wouldn't call that a benefit to society.
Remember those guys in the 90's tanking company stocks and reputations then buying em up under the guise of saving them only to dismantle em and make their profit on the sale of the scraps? yeah they made money removing jobs.
Organizing is difficult. Wealth is created because they are able to appropriately organize people into the jobs they are most efficient. They are able to get people to work harder, produce more, and more efficiently use resources. You might not think efficiency is moral but it does result in a higher quality of life across the board. Why are tech companies currently the darlings? Because each was able to find efficient ways to do things, communicate, search, or combine or improve existing technologies. Instead of printing every book they can just be downloaded and on the same device you make calls. It isn’t a natural process, it requires leaders to make things efficient in order to make money. No one should care about “jobs” because they mean nothing. If one person could produce all the food needed to feed the world then we don’t need jobs. That is the progress these people bring and that is the only reason they are able to make money, by improving efficiency. If you are saying their are ways to make money that don’t improve efficiency, obviously that is true but rare, and even if the case where someone tanking company reputations, the owners of the company are not required to sell, look at Tesla which had the most short sellers of any company and a constant barrage of negative articles but that was all able to be overcome by Tesla’s owner Elon Musk.
