That will remain just as is today - their workers will be offered meaningless money (to buy things like water from them, or some other resource under their control). They will also get payed/kept alive to to keep others from eating the rich.
Its exactly the same as today, resource & production hoarders (billionaires, kings, etc) don't make any sense at all, that's why so much effort is needed to keep that status as is. Ofc it would be better for humanity for us all to live more equal lives, have the option to work at what each of us is the best at, etc.
What will get them eaten are things like population collapse (like 90+% of us finally wiped out).

Back in the day, you needed an army who could betray you. Tomorrow, you can deploy a fleet of self-governing robots to kill thousands. Of course, only accessible to the rich.
For ordinary folk, the future is looking grim indeed.
