you must've missed your history lessons then.

the mobs always went for them first and killed their hole families. it hasn't happend in over 100 years though and its likely that it won't happen again, as the rich can buy automated defense systems nowadays that could slaughter any amount of revolutionaries that come knocking on their doors

When monarchy was hereditary, there was an obvious target. Now most rich persons are unknown out of a small circle. And they will take a jet to Switzerland or the Tropics.

The power is outsourced to politicians.
