They may want to die on Mars, but I doubt they want to spend a year or so of their life in a moving prison.

Billions do not buy you much in terms of comfort on the way to Mars.

Yes, it Will be hard for non-billionaires, too, but they will give up less, and have more to gain; they aren't famous yet.

"James Cameron becomes first solo explorer to reach the deepest point on Earth. This was his 73rd trip into the ocean in a submersible, including 33 dives to the Titanic."

He also worked as a truck driver for a while...

...and he'd probably bring VR along, and have multiple crews back on earth filming anything he wanted to see...

And I'm talking about them near the end of their lives... I could envision it happening.
