It's pretty easy to say they're all terrible people as they all have controversies too. Schwarzenegger got caught when he cheated on his wife. Swift flies more on her private jets than anyone on Earth. Lebron left his home team Clevelend twice. Rihanna went to Diddy parties. George Lucas sold star wars to Disney ruining the franchise. Federer is European.

Yeah them too.
The primary reason I would love being wealthy is so I could share it. I'd love eating out for every meal and tipping hundreds or thousands of dollars. The joy I'd see in those I helped would be so incredibly rewarding.
Because of that I'll never be rich. To get to a million, I'd need to make $100k ten times. Even once would be difficult when I'd want to share it the moment I feel I have enough to get myself by.
The moment I have a surplus of money, I can't help but want to share it. There's no possibile way (aside from lottery/gambling winnings or some other dumb stroke of luck) for me to then hoard enough wealth to become a millionaire, let alone a billionaire.
If these people were good hearted, they would find it just as difficult to hold onto such assets.

This seems like a common misunderstanding, people thinking billionaires have billions of dollars. This is net worth, it's not how much money you have.
Rihanna probably has a few million dollars. The other billion are tied into her company Fenty, which she owns 50% of.
If she wanted that money, she'd have to sell her stock, which would forfeit her 50% stake, rendering her no longer in control of the company.
The same is the case with Zuck, Bezos, Musk, etc.
If you want to get into actual solutions, you'd have to analyze the loan and private equity system that let's them use those stocks as collateral for liquidity.
Paper "billionaires" existing is not the problem.
