One could argue that he should disperse his wealth without being forced to, but one could also argue that if every good rich person gave away their money, without the bad rich people being forced to, we would only have bad rich people controlling our politicians.

On this note, Bill Gates started a club for billionaires in which the only requirement to join was to donate enough of your fortune during the time you're in the club that you're not longer a billionaire.

So he kind of checks every box here in your sentence, for better or for worse.
