There have been many billionaires, or billionaire-equivalent for their time-period, in my tiny unit alone.

Thanks. Quickly looking at the links, it seems all pre-WWI, mostly 19th century. Is that still true?

No, as I said the Squadron was operationally commanded by a billionaire as recently as the 1980s.

It's still very common for upper class people to join the Army in the UK.
