Thats the whole point. They are so immensely rich, they could fix most of the world's and its people's problems fairly quickly, and still be rich enough to continue to live in unbridled luxury and splendor, while the population would be mostly happy and content with the system. But apparently money is addictive and so they would rather ruin the world and societies by promoting a shift into fascism than give up even a sliver.

    It's also like... When you can have anything in the world it stops having meaning. So you can realistically only crave power, and by pushing others towards shittier and more miserable lives you elevate yours - it's the only way.
