Increasingly not even for their own benefit. They are like a parasite that is killing it's host and therefore it's means of subsistence

That’s what always gets me. You can’t spend a billion dollars on yourself - you could live in the highest possible luxury, waited on hand and foot by the best, and you’re barely going to eat up half of it in a lifetime - even if your money earned no interest

They’re not even happy. They’re hated by many, idolized by others, and the rest want to leech off them. They don’t even have good relationships among their peers, it’s like a never ending dick measuring contest

I agree with what you’re saying, but I don’t think it’s about any of that…it’s about control and no competition.
