Another comment that's clearly coming from a place of envy, entirely framed about what billionaires deserve rather than having any sort of introspection.
Some 20% of US billionaires grew up poor, or at least without well-off parents. 60+% were upper middle class or below. So, I think we can note that they've created enough value for the rest of us and deserve to keep the fraction of that value that they were able to negotiate.
