I hate being right

Why do people keep being fooled by rich assholes

People have grown up reading comic books and watching movies about generous billionaire superhero saviors. They want to believe that exists because it's what they've been taught justice looks like.

They do exist they just prefer to be anonymous in their altruism so nobody hears about them.

How convenient that a counterexample can't be named

Actually, this is part of Jewish society. Essentially, one is not supposed to do it for glory. I suspect that part of that is to avoid getting letters pleading for more money from those who they have helped or who knows that they helped someone. A lot of charities share/sell donor lists.
