Watch the movie Scrooge, then you'll probably understand.

For example what's one person really to do with 40 billion USD like Bill Gates? Even when being extremely wasteful leading an extremely luxurious life he won't be able to spend 1 percent of his wealth.
Now if we would have seen this wealth distributed over 1 million American households, each having solid resources of 40K USD instead of living in poverty, that would have a major impact on the economy. Very good for productivity and society. Bill Gates sitting on his cash on the other hand is not productive.
Seriously IMO Bill Gates didn't reallly earn his Microsoft dollars by being productive, he was lucky enough IBM picked their version of Quick and Dirty OS (QDOS), but for the rest the company has rather been destructive rather than productive, anti-competitive measures and other market abuse which has put millions of people out of work worldwide, degraded the quality of computing controlled systems causing many accidents in the past and for the long run even participated in degrading in-depth computer knowledge at universities and increasing their dependecy.
