Interesting that you'd have to win a life-altering amount of money once a month for probably decades to be able to afford one of these should tell us everything we need to know about the obscene levels of wealth we are talking about here. I believe people should be able to be rich. Even incredibly rich. But billionaires shouldn't exist. Not one of those fortunes is unstained by blood. Not that every last one of them is evil or anything, but that accumulation of wealth is an evil thing.
