    Thanks. 👍

    By shunning publicity they seem to believe they can survive longer,

    That’s not really that different from how I understand European billionaires think, not drawing attention or making noise is the best way to avoid unnecessary problems. So pretty much as suspected. And I think most billionaires think like that, except Americans.

      Because American new billionaires believe they have zero possibility of having their assets seized by the people.

      Instead, they correctly assume that money is power and they can simply buy their place at the top of society. America is lost to the oligarchy.
