For the purposes of discussion in this thread, I accept Stevenson's benchmark as referring to multi-billionaires - those with enough accumulated wealth to control/govern the state unelected.

As Lord Rothschild said, "Give me control over a nation's currency [economy], and I care not who makes its laws.”

Would you weep for him if he'd f~cked off to Bermuda to live on a yacht?

Watch the video -
he is no longer a slave to material goods -
he even rides a motor scooter - he has no car and he's happier.
He could buy 100 cars if he wanted to.

Good on him I say -
he has probably paid 100 times more tax than we ever did -

he's paid his dues and now he can laugh and enjoy his life.

Very easily. And don't forget super. The real increases come at the end of the term. Compound interest is great.

Yep, so that kind of wealth is not mega-rich by Stevenson's standards, that is moderate... and light years away from allowing the capacity to control the state unelected.

So how then do the mega-rich control the state? Rig elections? Although the leftists do try. But I suspect that is more to do with them rather than trying to control the state.  It is the leftist mega-rich that have been pushing the climate change barrow.
