I think creating a billion dollars of value is a rare occurrence without government assistance in some way, even if everything is going your way, doesn't mean competition wouldn't try their best to erode your market share, its a constant battle.

I think that level of wealth will warp your reality though, so I get they would be tone deaf to the common mans reality, but giving billionaires a reality check on how impossible it is to build that level wealth, what does that achieve?
