Imho an intressting development in the completly wrong direction. However it shows the massive problem capitalism has, that it increases capital accumulation within a small group of people. It also is a strong argument against the idea of billionaires having earned their wealth.

Power is like a black hole. This isn't about wealth, it's about power. It's only concern is growing itself.

This is what I learned from the Lord of the Rings.
