Right, but she is not pathologically like the other billionaires. She married a man who became one. Same with Melinda Gates. So I guess our hope is that more billionaires will lust after young Russians or hot newscasters and get divorced, so their normal wives can do what normal people do with more money than they’d even need and help others.

Precisely, it takes a special kind of psychopathy to have 100 million dollars and decide that you need to "keep going".
Hard to square these guys antics with the whole meritocracy of wealth business. Losing half your empire falling for a uh, socialite, on a business trip to LA? Tagged in a log book on the way to an island of ill repute? Getting high out of your mind and picking a fight with your boss who is the President?

These are depressingly average ways to screw up. Been there done that, but I don't claim to be John Galt either.
