    Not quite.

    The castle (the oligarchs) will hop on a plane and leave. The people who will end up lynched in the street are gonna be the people that have made something of themselves, not in the oligarch sense. Doctors, lawyers, engineers, academics. The people that live in the nicer part of town and have bigger houses.

    It very difficult to comprehend the sheer scale of a billion dollars. To someone making 30k a year, someone making 150k a year looks about the same as a bezos.
