Personally I haven't been able to muster empathy for people who amassed a thousand lifetimes' worth of personal wealth and then are suddenly threatened with the potential of being left with...only a few hundred lifetimes' worth.

Well, perhaps you'd like to try harder? Or do you think they don't deserve your empathy? In the end, people with infinite money have to deal with many of the same issues we deal with: relationship/personal issues, health problems, death of close ones, etc.

  I don’t empathise with drug lords and I don’t empathise with Zuck in particular.

  I somehow doubt Mark Zuckerberg is worried about how to pay for his kids' college tuition (if he has kids, I really don't know).

I don't think you're supposed to empathize with those people. You're supposed to empathize with the people who are about to lose their jobs who aren't wealthy, and the people who currently are comfortable with a bunch of FB stock that may not be worth a lot in the future, making them uncomfortable.
