It's terrifying to think that due to the economics of this - ie controlled death, technical work done by specialists, decades of energy-stable cryopreservation -, it's mostly our present-day oligarchs who will be preserved and eventually immortalized.

I don't think that's true at all. We routinely provide people with surgery by highly trained specialists and ongoing indefinite care while they're still biologically active. Outside of the US, this can even be done reasonably affordable. As far as medical procedures go, the one described here is fairly simple, and cold storage is also not that expensive. This should be accessible to anyone in a developed country.
