tbf, a billionaire right in front of you isnt that scary even if thats what you're afraid of, its the abstracted effects of their power and actions. A billionaire right in front of you in the flesh is something you can physically harm with your own two fists alone, a widespread system is not.
How about a billionaire in some sort of bulletproof pope mobile surrounded by an army of security who all happen to be people who didn't qualify to become cops?
