They're rich enough to do it all ... Hard to lose badly if you're a billionaire if they dropva few 100 million, it's immaterial & they'll claw it back soon enough. Money makes money. It's the little people who feel losses as devastating. So if the banking system collapses, the rich still have their Gold mansions & cash etc, while most of us could be scavenging. It's also not what I'm wishing for but maybe the elite see it as securing their future
