That’s the thing man. There are enough billionaires that they have a society. Being a billionaire no longer means unilaterally changing the world, because other billionaires won’t cooperate if you’re going against their wishes.

So billionaires are no longer “above” society. They just live in a new stratum of society, but they still have to deal with the existence of their peers.
