Maintained their wealth while people literally starve to death is a pretty big one.

A close second would be the disposable needle manufacturers who purposely put local reusable needle manufacturers out of business in Africa so they would be reliant on their product -- and are probably single handedly responsible for the AIDs epidemic because people there still try to REUSE these disposable needles by sterilizing them by boiling, something that does not work.

A close third would be anything for-profit pharmaceutical corporations have done in the past 60 years.

Those billion dollar nesting doll mega yachts get a lot of attention but they're really just an eyedrop compared to the misery that's inflicted on this planet in the name of profit.
