What if you have a factory that produces superior robots that can repel any uprising against you?

Ultimately if you are made of flesh and blood any adventure you partake in is one small piece of lead away from ending. This is why guns are perceived as the great equalizer; no amount of bodyguards or telekinetic combat robots can stop a bullet traveling 800mph+.

You could just not go outside, but at that point with the onset of depression from complete lack of socialization and Vitamin D you'll eventually kill yourself, yourself.

As long as humans exist, there will be someone that finds a way. Sabotaging the factory, reprogramming robots etc are some broad ways in which this can happen.

Thats mighty optimistic, given that most of the world already lives in terrible poverty and the wealthy already often use millitary robots to quell malcontents with sufficient success.

Most of the world does not live in terrible poverty. Most of the world used to live in terrible poverty. Highly recommend reading "Factfulness" if you still believe miserable poverty in the norm across the world. Your vision is likely highly skewed by the media and your own unusual wealth in the context of the world / history.

Those who can do that might as well use their ingenuity to build their own factories and join the factory owning class.
