It's ruined for them too. The stuff they love is also doomed to fall apart; sooner than they think. Sooner than most people are willing to admit. Good luck to whatever life remains.
It's ruined for their children and theirs, but you don't become a 9 figure millionaire or billionaire by loving anyone else like your children, only yourself.
The 28 thousand 100-million-plus inaires on earth we all serve one way or another have no national allegiance, and will simply vacation from whatever temperate climate is left that accepts currency to the next until complete ecological collapse from their own fine work in 20-40 years.
Then yeah, they'll retreat to their luxury bunker complexes and sip expensive whiskey under the world they destroyed, probably nonsensically blaming the poors they mercilessly exploited for ruining the planet as they'll never self-reflect on their own avarice and sociopathy.
As I said, modern pharoahs, so of course they have decadent tombs at the ready.
All the nice things in the world won't save them from themselves. When the collapse truly begins, and the walls start closing in, they'll be feeling it. Narcissistic collapse writ large. There isn't an amount of money large enough to save them from the simple fact that they are as human as the rest of us. And those bunkers will be overthrown, or turned into tombs.
I want them to be the last survivors of a dead world. It's what they deserve. Kings of nothing. Behold my works ye mighty and despair!
