It tells you about how super rich people think. The fact that they share these doomsday beliefs implies that they understand that something is wrong with the system and maybe that they are responsible for it to begin with. I don't understand the motivation for them to leak these stories to the news though. Do they expect regular people to feel sorry for them and that this will prevent or delay the doomsday?
