While I am a bit further out from the billionaire line than Heisenberg, I can tell you that money doesn't necessarily corrupt you, and doesn't have to come from exploiting anyone.
On the first point, when you hit extreme wealth - this is way, way before a billion btw - you experience what ChatGPT called "terminal capital sufficiency". The money pile grows faster than than you can use it. The pile grows 5-13% a year and compounds. There is not enough days in the year to dine in enough Michelin restaurants, stay in Aman and wear Loro Piana to make a dent. The only way you can impact the pile is a private jet or a yacht. So I think you are somewhat unlikely to want to chase more. Nor do I feel are you very likely to want power, because with power comes visibility, which reduces your privacy, security and freedom. Things you value most. In fact, it becomes a lonely point as your life so radically diverges from your friends. They can't just leave their desk for an impromptu trip. They have a goal to chase - even if it is just keeping the hamster wheel going. You can't figure out a project worth your while, since your wealth grows faster. So eventually you gravitate towards quiet philanthropy. To have something meaningful to do.
On the second point, becoming ultra wealthy doesn't have to mean you have exploited someone. It can happen because you are one of the very few people who believe in a startup, and end up with a meaningful position during their tough years, and when they explode, a bank buys your shares at a crazy prize.
To bring the discussion back to this thread, I personally am completely unable to comprehend the behaviour of the billionaires around Epstein. Why would you go to someone else's place to fuck? Why the fuck would you want to fuck underage people? If you are fucking a Russian prostitute, why on earth wouldn't you use a condom? I can't emphatically with any of it.
