HIP - A new kind of celebrity

I propose a new kind of celebrity - the "High Impact Person" (HIP). Basically, this would be a global awards to celebrate philanthropy. Sound boring? That's why you bring in the advertising gurus, because what a lot of these people are doing is actually pretty spectacular. For example, last year Dustin Moskovitz gave away more than $441 million to causes ranging from animal welfare to global health. Crypto billionaire Sam Bankman- Fried , like many other tech multi-billionaires, has committed to giving away most of his wealth in similar fashion. At the end of the day, we want to encourage billionaires to unload their wealth for the benefit of everyone. HIP awards won't do that on their own. And yes, there will be sceptics, like with everything. But something like a HIP awards will give 'global recognition' to people who do this kind of thing, just at a moment where there are trillions sitting on the sidelines that we sure could use to fix the world. Givers don't always like the limelight, but everyone likes recognition. Don't worry about that bit.
