Imagine being that rich and spending the limited time you have on Earth actively trying to make more money. It's absolutely mental illness!

No, they're on point. Its deranged and signs of a mental problem collecting that much wealth. Concentrating wealth to the degree of billionaires actively harms the rest of the economy, and the world. They have so much of our single pie of resources that it is damaging to us.
