The ultra wealthy are very different from anyone else. First of all, their games is about power, everyone else's is survival and making the rent. Second they have armies of ass kissers. Third, they have no job and can even own politicians. And of course their wealth isolates them from repercursions anyone else would face, and puts their experience way out of phase with the regular people.

And we should also account for the sociopathic drive that made them rich in the first place (sociopaths are overrepresented in higher status positions).
