It’s getting harder to ignore the pattern: Extreme wealth hoarding seems to do something profoundly strange to the human psyche.

When you have enough money to insulate yourself from shame, consequences, and the word "no," your grip on normal reality seems to dissolve. It’s almost as if becoming a billionaire is an inevitable path toward bizarre, dystopian, or deeply disturbing behavior.

Here is just a sample of the reality distortion field surrounding some of the world's richest men:

ELON MUSK

Often manifests chaotic personal and professional conduct.

• The obsession with "breeding" and repopulating the Earth with his DNA, sometimes secretly with employees.

• Naming children things like X Æ A-Xii, Exa Dark Sideræl, and Techno Mechanicus.

• Accusations of exposing himself to a flight attendant (leading to a $250k settlement).

 BILL GATES

Despite the philanthropist image, his connections tell a darker story.

• Continued to meet with Jeffrey Epstein multiple times *after* Epstein was a convicted sex offender, even flying on his jet.

• Reports of an uncomfortable workplace dynamic where he pursued women working for him at Microsoft and the Foundation.

 DONALD TRUMP

One of the longest and most documented connections to Epstein.

• Was filmed partying with Epstein in the 90s at Mar-a-Lago, laughing and pointing out women.

• Famously called Epstein a "terrific guy" who liked women "on the younger side."

• His name appears multiple times on Epstein’s flight manifests.

 JEFF BEZOS

Seems intent on physically reshaping the world to fit his ego.

• Spending $42 million building a giant clock inside a mountain designed to tick for 10,000 years.

• Commissioning a $500M superyacht so tall that a historic bridge in Rotterdam was initially scheduled to be dismantled just to let it pass.

 MARK ZUCKERBERG

Behavior that often feels like a simulation of human coolness.

• Massive land grabs in Hawaii for a compound, engaging in legal battles to force locals off ancestral lands for his privacy.

• An obsession with Roman Emperor Augustus (even giving his daughters Roman names).

• Strange fixations, like spending a year only eating meat that he killed himself (including laser-sighted goats).

 PETER THIEL & LARRY ELLISON

The dystopian futurists obsessed with cheating death.

• Thiel has shown deep interest in "parabiosis" (injecting young blood into older people) and bought NZ citizenship as a doomsday escape plan.

• Ellison bought 98% of the Hawaiian island of Lanai for $300M, effectively becoming a modern-day feudal lord over the community there.

It really makes you wonder: At what point does extreme wealth stop being "success" and start becoming a pathology?
