>expectation of a completely frictionless existence, an unwillingness to work with life's "imperfections",

Billionaires didn't get there without frictions, they are ruthless and powerful. Not without reason they are usually very narcissistic. They have ambitions, determination and using their resources.

Maybe you are thinking about the children and not people who control global companies. You think Elon musk doesn't face friction and backlash?

Yeah I feel like all billionaires are being painted with a broad brush here. Some Saudi prince who inherits billions with few responsibilities might be indolent, capricious and hedonistic but these captain of industry types? They live and thrive in high stress ultra-competitive situations their entire careers.
