I think your starting premise is obviously false and where are you getting that billionaires are privatizing the profits from the particle collider (sounds like a talking point). No one can guarantee that there are benefits - we can surmise that there are but there are still massive risks associated with large form science experiments.
Government has always been the backbone of basic science research - no one else can reasonably bear the risk and the advances are public domain.
