Anyone that has managed a homeless shelter or soup kitchen for over a decade.

How about Jon Bon Jovi?

During COVID he spent his days ladling soup in his soup kitchen.

He knows fame and fortune so that won't be new to him

Last year in September he helped someone not jump off a bridge.

Has been married to the same person since 1989 and they were highschool sweet hearts

"On December 15, 2010, Bon Jovi was appointed by then U.S. president Barack Obama to the White House Council for Community Solutions."

So he knows some things

He now has 3 soup kitchen's.

Seems like someone that would do some good even if didn't exactly meet your qualifications

The point is to get someone that is incorruptible by wealth. Someone that is purely altruistic not out of excess but out of the very fiber of their being. I want someone poor by choice, someone who rejects all the pomp and ritual. Someone that will tell a billionaire no, I will not visit your island or take your gifts, and do so every single time.
