Old Bernie Sanders likes to speak against the evils of the billionaire class as if there are a group of people out there plotting to do you in.
There are a reported 536 billionaires in the US and about 1800 in the world.

That means their wealth is dependent to a great extent on commerce; you and others being able to and actually buying goods and services from the companies in which they are invested.

Plus they don’t make a lot of money because of per unit price but rather the volume off units.
