Not only nobody "earns" that much money, nobody should have the right to command the amount of influence that kind of money provides.
We are literally talking about FIVE people fucking with the lives of the entire planet.
Even if you add the active politicians of every country on earth, it would be a minuscule number of people controlling the lives of eight billion of us, and the most frustrating part of it is that vast majority of that eight billion thinks this is normal, or even should be encouraged.
Most of the eight billion don't think it's normal. Basically just the golden billion do (aka the West, Global North, Imperial Core, First World, etc.).
Most of the world thinks that the working people should control their own destinies.
