I think this is almost tautologically true though. Why do Billionaires exist? What is the purpose of being a billionaire? They do not need to work to live well, so why do they work at all? A lot of them might say something like "to improve the world" but the fact of the matter is very few of them are willing to actually _spend money_ (i.e. make a loss) on something which can have a massive benefit (to someone else), they will only ever "invest". So I say it's very nearly tautological that Billionaires are _exactly_ the people focused on making numbers go up, since every decision they make seems to ultimately revolve around making this happen.
