> Many of the rich care about power and influence I'd wager most don't. Sure, some do, but they're a minority. > If I had $10MM in assets (enough to passively generate a 99th percentile income), I don't think I'd only be worried about protecting income.

Once you have a work free income, odds are your evaluation of its value will change drastically and you will become very protective of it due to the freedom it provides.
