If only they could all put some of this obscene wealth to good use for the benefit of the planet..... But I guess greed and selfishness overwhelms them, and they "need" it all themselves. When most of us can live happily on a grand or so a month, because realistically we don't actually "need" very much!
They're the only ones that can make a real difference to our planet - but they won't.
