I mean, how are orcas going to know whether the owner is a millionaire?

They’re likely attacking boats because boats in general are pissing them off, and smaller boats are in the range they can actually deal with, as opposed to giant things like tankers or submarines that may actually be offending them. To them, boat is boat.

Moreover, when their owners fall into the water they do not attack or intimidate them. Probably, like most animals, they don't even understand that boats are inanimate things controlled by humans.
