I honestly think the first one is usually done in favor of some (flawed) perception of what the world needs, not the self trying to gain something. Like: There are billionaires that campaign for higher taxes, though it's only loss for them. They think it's right for the world.

There's still an element of enlightened self interest though – that higher-taxes world is one in which they prefer to live in (more funding for arts and science, well maintained infrastructure, lower odds of the proles lining them up against the wall, etc.), even with less money.
