Can you be an ethical/good person and also be extremely rich and powerful?

Yes and there are many examples
It's possible but very rare
It's inherently impossible

There’s no way to obtain that much personal wealth without the time and labor of others

Moderately rich, yes. Extremely, no. If you’re a billionaire, you did something wrong to get there and you should be taxed more

What are we calling "extremely rich and powerful", anything over 2 mil in liquid is unethical if youre not actively doing high levels of philanthropy imo

Yes, in the sense that i believe that extremely rich people could STILL be extremely rich if they didnt exploit their workers/paid them a fair wage

You also need to consider income sources and the ethicality of all of that, connections for power and how ethical those people and their wealth is, etc, etc

Your very existence disproves your statement. Have a great day though and God bless you. Jesus loves you.
