    Steps:

    1. be (usually born) rich
    2. have an agenda
    3. use your wealth to accomplish it
    4. lie, cheat, steal, do whatever you have to in order to “win”

    Did I leave anything out? :-P

      You forgot step 5: once you have won, change the rules so nobody else can play anymore

                  I’m sure the moment I were to become a billionaire people would finally pull out the guillotines.

                    Nah. Except yeah, probably. People aren’t great at handling subtleties - e.g. “tax the wealth” becomes “kill the billionaires”, as if the taxation part wasn’t the point, or the fact that actual trillionaires exist is somehow not relevant, etc. It’s easier to shoehorn facts into what people already want to do:-P.
