I had the impression that the main reason wealthier people in São Paulo use helicopters is to keep their ears in place[1], avoiding traffic jams sure might be a nice plus.

That too. And it illustrates another reason why extreme inequality is bad: even if you're a total psychopath with no concern for anyone except yourself, it's not in your interest to live in a society with extreme inequality - unless you like the idea of being surrounded by people who have so little compared to you that they're desperate for what you have, and are willing to use violence to get it.
