A man with a hundred million dollars in 2060 is worth the same as a man with 0 dollars, because once global society collapses so do your dollars.
These geniuses think they can escape to their bunkers and keep their security forces loyal to them. That won’t happen, the people with the guns will take the land and the resources and leave the billionaires dead.
Nah, they’ll have ways around that such as alternate currencies or converting their money to gold or other valuable commodities.
They’re already own or are increasingly owning all sources of food, fresh water, large scale power generation and fuel.
Also, you’re REALLY underestimating how much the people with the most guns love following authoritarian leaders unquestioningly. Blind obedience of authority figures is one of the cornerstones of their religion, after all…
The food is going to be among the first things to fall. The climate will make growing large amounts of crops increasingly difficult, regardless of money thrown at the problem. Once food becomes globally insecure, the rich will be worldwide targets. The rich are not escaping the hell that’s coming. Their wealth will help them suffer it a little longer than the rest of us though. No one is getting out of this. Money can’t buy off extinction.
