That's exactly the point I think anyone reasonable would make.
It's not necessarily how they got the money, it's that they keep it. If I won the lottery, and got a multi-billion dollar payout, I could wire most of that money to a DAF, tell it to distribute the money to 200 different charities I like, and it could be done within the week.
Keeping that much money is a choice. Continuing to spend it all on lavish expenses while the poor suffer is a personal choice, not one they're forced to bear the consequences of due to their fame.
