Why does any single person deserve the enormous amount of power that being so absurdly wealthy can bring?

  So they can get us to Mars? So they can cure malaria? Obviously doesn't apply to all of the riches.

  You say "deserve" as if there is some God or universal parent dictating people's fortune like they are handing out cookies for being a good boy. You might say someone you really like deserves much better fortune then they have realized, but that's something that's completely subjective to you - it's because you yourself like them. You might say that someone who is very fortunate deserves less because you don't like them, that is also very subjective. Since wealth makes you intrinsically less likable, it's pretty natural people would think that the wealthy deserve less. But does that have any objective significance? No.
