You just grant right of abode to a number of young men that know how to handle weapons. They'll be very motivated to defend it - and you! - from the hordes, especially given their families are residing there too.

Except in this case without the need to maintain a popular figure of divine mandate for public purposes, the guards just shoot the former billionaires. In the end there is no hedge against death or total societal breakdown no matter how rich you are.
