FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Why billionaires?

Billionaires have outsized resources and influence. Their philanthropic, business, and political decisions affect millions of people. This site lets the public weigh in on whose impact they consider most positive.

Is this politically biased?

The rankings reflect community voting, not editorial opinion. The debate summaries on each profile try to present both positive and critical perspectives. The site has no advertiser relationships.

Can I vote multiple times?

Each session can only vote once per pair. If you open a new browser tab or clear session storage you can vote again, but the Elo system is designed to converge toward consensus over many voters — individual ballot-stuffing has diminishing returns.

Why is [person X] not listed?

The initial list includes 25 billionaires selected for name recognition and diversity of background. More will be added over time.

How often are ratings updated?

Ratings update immediately after each vote. The leaderboard page caches for 5 minutes. Daily snapshots for historical tracking are taken at midnight UTC.

Who built this?

MoralMatchups is an independent project. It is not affiliated with any of the individuals listed.
