That one or two motivated billionaires start interesting businesses every once in a while is justification for an economic system hundreds of thousands die because of the resulting poverty?

2016 Study: A study published in the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) estimated that approximately 133,000 deaths in the US annually are attributable to poverty. 2019 Study: A report by the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine suggested that around 300,000 deaths could be linked to social factors like poverty and lack of access to healthcare. 2020 Report: The Kaiser Family Foundation estimated that roughly 136,000 deaths in 2018 were associated with poverty-related factors like lack of access to healthcare and healthy food.

Your "please think of the rich guys" argument holds no sway with me.
