Folks have unlimited time and money and they fall into 3 categories...

1. Hollywood Stars - self indulgent brats, but harmless to most folk

2. Carnegie and the like, that actully do something good with their money. They are still around but less visible and usually a bit more self serving than 100 years ago

3. Dictators like saddam Insane, castro, etc. This path solves no problems and can cause quite a few!

Just remember...if the world didn't suck, we'd all fall off.
