    The hell they would. Inflation is what makes them multimillionaires. Once you become that rich, inflation does not affect you. 89%of your income gores to investments, things you WANT to increase in price.

        Wrong.Inflation increases the value of their investments. The stock market relies completely on inflation to increase profits. Every inflationary increase directly results in increase profits. That is the purpose of inflation.

          Right, but I’m talking about the hypothetical in which their wealth is capped at a fixed number of dollars. They’d reach the cap and then raise the ladder up after them.
