Who's he? Legit question, I've heard his name but don't know who he is 

A self-made billionaire (unlike Trump), a respected businessman (unlike Trump) and a Philanthropist (unlike Trump) and former three term Mayor of New York.

He usually falls somewhere between the tenth and fifteenth “richest person in the world”.

In April 2018, Bloomberg pledged $4.5 million to help cover what would have been the U.S. financial commitment to the Paris Climate Agreement for the year. According to a statement released by Bloomberg Philanthropies, its founder will continue to bankroll the pact if the U.S. does not rejoin, though Bloomberg also stated in an interview around that time that he hoped President Trump would change his mind on the matter.

Bloomberg wants to “retire every single coal-fired power plant over the next 11 years" and to "begin moving America as quickly as possible away from oil and gas and toward a 100 percent clean energy economy."

Wow, that looks pretty good to me

Why enter the race so late? What’s the point? The democratic candidates have doing their televised debates for awhile now. Some even already drops out. What can he offer that other don’t that makes him so sure he will go far?

I cannot believe in a good hearted billionaire. Maybe I'm cynical, I don't think that exists

This is straight up desperation among the moderates and the ultra-wealthy. Warren and Sanders have them all shook. Very few billionaires are actually your friend. They may find Trump distasteful, but make no mistake, most will work just as much (probably more) against Sanders and Warren as they ever will Trump.

Zuckerberg is proving as much. I have little doubt that on social issues he's much more in line with Bernie/Warren and that he generally finds Trumpism distasteful. Hasn't stopped him from cozying up with the right, which he clearly sees as less of a threat to his personal fortune.
