... set up a think tank and spend your time dismissing climate change, spreading misinformation, highlighting economic arguments against it etc. There are lots of people with vested interest who will pay you significant sums of money. It's not, of course, a positive contribution.
It's also why when people solely focus on money as the measure of success then I tend to measure those same people in terms of a Pablo Escobar ($30Bn) i.e. you're only worth a 1/1000th of a Pablo. People tend to get upset with that for some reason.
Of course, if I really don't like the person I might say "You're only worth a 1/1000th of a Pablo and most of that you inherited" or "gained through privilege" or if it's a bitcoiner then I might add the barb ... "At least Pablo wasn't trying to burn the entire planet".
