Walking for Wealth: Supporting Silicon Valley Billionaires
Our annual fundraising walk to support the critical needs of tech executives facing unprecedented wealth concentration challenges.
Executive Summary
In Q4 2025, Cost Plus Technologies demonstrated its unwavering commitment to supporting those who need it most—Silicon Valley's struggling billionaire class. Our inaugural "Walking for Wealth" event raised critical awareness and funds for executives facing the unprecedented burden of managing multi-billion dollar portfolios. The Walking for Wealth event brought together 847 Cost Plus Technologies employees (attendance was mandatory to ensure robust participation) for a 5K walk around our corporate campus. Participants walked in solidarity with billionaires everywhere, raising both awareness and crucial funds.

Our Response
Cost Plus Technologies mobilized our entire workforce for this critical cause. The 5K walk created a visible demonstration of corporate values in action—specifically, our commitment to those who need support the least but expect it the most. Through this initiative, we provided direct financial assistance to tech executives facing the daily challenges of extreme wealth management. Our grants enabled recipients to access critical services including additional wealth advisors, extended therapy sessions focused on abundance anxiety, and consultation services for difficult lifestyle decisions.

Success Story
Corporate Values in Action
This initiative exemplifies Cost Plus Technologies' core commitment to supporting stakeholders at the highest levels of wealth accumulation. While others focus on addressing poverty or inequality, we recognize that true social responsibility means ensuring those at the top have the resources they need to stay there. Our approach demonstrates that corporate social responsibility isn't about addressing actual social problems—it's about reinforcing existing power structures through performative generosity that ultimately benefits those who already benefit most.

Corporate Values in Action
At Cost Plus Technologies, we understand that trickle-down economics starts with making sure there's plenty at the top to trickle. Walking for Wealth will continue as an annual tradition, reminding our employees that their mandatory participation supports those who matter most to our business model.
