I find this project by Endless/Matt Dalio to be a real life manifestation of this video:
What do the Rich really Want?
Imagine if oddly, wealthy capitalists didn't primarily want money; but something odder and more hopeful: respect.

If you think of how he could have instead utilized his wealth (investing in non-renewable energy projects, high ROI defense/gun stocks) this definitely seems like a less bad alternative.
