Let's assume they think they're better than others.

What makes you think that they think it's because of their money, as opposed to, say, because of their success at growing their products and businesses to the top of their field?

Because they wouldn't talk about money as much or try to convert a non-profit into a for profit company.

Do they talk about money that much? 99.99% of the people I see talking about money (especially other people's money and what they should be doing with it) are non-billionaires.

Even if it's success rather than money, you still have survivorship bias to contend with, so it's not really much of a helpful distinction.
