Is it our opinion that they should just retire as soon as they hit 2 or 3 million, and end all contracts with royalties

Nope. They are in fact able to spend money to help those that need it, so you can pack away your ridiculous strawman.

It's not really their fault, at that point, that they keep making money.

It's their fault if they hoard vast riches rather than meaningfully contribute to the betterment of the people, though.

Let's say that there can be some, that it's possible to be, a good billionaire

ABSOLUTELY not. You don't accidentally become a billionaire in a day. You become a billionaire by hoarding ridiculous amounts of money long past the point where you have enough for everything you could ever need.
