I think it’s fair; hold no grudge. Happy to go into the reasons if anyone’s curious.

I have no problems with billionaires, in a society where everyone's a millionaire.

A society that allows for such wealth disparity to happen is deeply corrupt. Anyone who not only participates in that society, but voluntarily becomes the cause of such disparity is irreparably morally bankrupt. They are a burden on society, contributing millions of times less than what they take.
