You've got to step back a little to understand.
The key thing is that it is not possible (excluding inheritance) to become a billionaire without being a scheming psychopathic cut-throat selfish person and having a determined drive to have power over others.
The second key is it's not possible to keep your billions without being a psychopath. This because you could never possibly spend that money in your lifetime and the only way to have accumulated it is through exploitation of labour.
So it's a thing you don't need that you got via abusing others. They want power and they don't care how they get it. They have no plan beyond that. Personally I think it's mental health issues and the fact that we allow this in our flawed system.
it's not just allowed it's encouraged, in fact i'd go as far as to say it's the only way to "win" in this system
It's not wealth hoarding, it's wealth OBSTRUCTION as a means to control everyone. It's pathological fo sho.
