But billionaires aren’t the problem, only a symptom

A celebrity, according to Cambridge, is defined as:

someone who is famous, especially in the entertainment business

However, arguably, in today’s world, there are two types of personalities that garner more attention than actors and entertainment personalities.

These are heads of nations, especially POTUS as well as billionaires. Who can argue that Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos, or Mark Zuckerberg are less popular than any top actor or musician?

Billionaires have this additional ability to polarize the world like none of the other categories of celebrities. Noone’s as hated or as loved as billionaires are — while there may be one former POTUS that is the exception to that statement, and probably trumps the billionaires too on both ends of the spectrum.

Billionaires are merely a symptom or an effect of the centuries of processes and systems we have in place. They aren’t the problem — definitely not the root of it.
