Maybe the claim is exaggerated but having money doesn’t make you invincible, especially to larger organizations.

Regardless nobody should have such personal details revealed as news without their own doing, no matter how rich or famous they are.

Money doesn't make you invincible to everything.

But when it comes to "I need to visit this country for business", money easily solves that.

Yeah, sure. Though I'd say that the existence of billionaires is a significantly larger problem...

No, money doesn’t easily solve anything, and it can actually bring attention (like tabloids that want to expose your sex life). And existence of billionaires? Envy of other people’s wealth and taking it away by force is at the forefront of every catastrophic economic outcome.

Anyone who has ever had an unreliable car begs to differ. Among a million other examples. Not being able to just solve unexpected problems is the worst part of being poor.

I didn't say 'taking it away', it's more a comment on how taxes should be more progressive.

But if you did knock every billionaire down to 100M... nothing bad would happen. It's less than one percent of one percent of people going from "filthy rich" down to "still filthy rich".
