I think I see what you mean: we know that power corrupts, and billionaires have incredible power, so this is to be expected to some extent.

You don't need to be a billionaire to cheat on your wife and have affairs. Average and poor dudes do that all the time.

The point I was making was, that what's the point of becoming a powerful billionaire if your life now has more restrictions than the lower classes? People amass wealth and power to gain more freedoms from societal rules, not less.
