Approximately three quarters of these 2000 billionaires are American or Chinese. Would you be happy with a US or Chinese owner?
Obviously having 2b is probably not sufficient. Anyone with less than 5b to their name (cheapos) is unlikely to frivolously spend half their money on a play thing. So the pool of billionaires is probably smaller still.
There are only a handful of English individuals who could fit your criteria. Jim Ratcliffe is the only one I know of who fits the bill. But I’m not sure a savvy business man would spend the amounts needed knowing the money will never come back. To really spunk away billions, having 10b is maybe not enough unless you’re a Spurs fan. Therefore, a consortium, an investment group, a national wealth fund, Saudis or other oiled vehicles are far more likely than the ‘ethical billionaire’.

the problem is so far the true big spend (needed for that 2B+ number) seems to fall into two categories
- PR project for bad people/places
- Money laundering
neither of those are particularly ethical.
Funny people talk about Bill Gates, it would someone like Ballmer (ex-CEO) who bought a NBA franchise for about $2B and has lots more to spend.
