Even if that was true, why are the identities and the life stories of the billionaires important?

  I don't think they are necessarily important stories, just stories that can be easily sold by the media. People become famous by being very rich (even if that's not their intent,) and we (humanity as a whole) like stories of famous people.

  The idea is that wealth is not fixed even when unequally distributed. Poor today, rich tomorrow

    Sweet! I can't wait to be a billionaire tomorrow!

    While that may be true on the level of individuals it's still breaking down at a societal level. Class mobility is in rapid decline.
