Humanity won’t all die. The vast majority might, and all the rich have to do is make sure they’re among the survivors, in a situation where they’re still on top of the remaining society.

When a hundred million humans survive but only a few thousand are super rich, there’ll still be plenty of people to abuse.

They would need to "noahs ark" enough people with the skills required to keep them rich. And at that point i dont think the remaining slaves would have as hard a time rebelling.
