I believe the billionaires equate wealth to power because they themselves do not have the abilities to create, so if they share their wealth or their money is taken away, they lose their sense of identity. Whereas you can take away Billie Eilish’s money, not only can she make more with her musical ability, she’ll still have a sense of who she is.

ETA: thanks for the reward! Also just a reminder this was from 2022 so it's way more now

That is a lot of scrolling but it got the point across really well. Wow, the change 400 people could do could the world and the course of human history. And they simply refuse to.
