Of course people should be allowed to own nice things that they enjoy.

The problem is that these specific people are only able to afford these specific nice things because of economic systems that are based on hundreds of millions of people not being able to afford any nice things in life, ever.

Not that I'm specifically blaming multimillionaires and billionaires for the shortcomings of global economy systems.

They have just benefitted from them in the same way other people are suffering from them.
