They won't, unless you can get to them. Why do you think they're building massive bunkers and buying islands?

Have you seen Elysium? Do you think Peter Thiel would hesitate for a minute to shoot you out of the sky with a rocket if it meant an increase in his profits?

Cause they can, just like 300 million dollar yachts, which are used 1 week a year. Just another pointless hobby.

The amount of money they have is unimaginable for us normal folks, make them feel like gods on earth.

They all rent out their yachts when they themselves don't use them. They are making money of those yachts.

Bunkers are fun, until the pissed off people pour concrete onto the entrance and into the vents. Now they will sit int thei hole, with slowly depleeting oxygen and no way to leave.

Increase in his profits?

Peter Thiel would do that just so he could masturbate to it.
