When wealthy people spend a lot of money on big toys, all it does is kick money down to the rest of us. When wealthy people start tinkering with stuff like our food supply, in the past that has had big consequences for humans (think things like the Dust Bowl or Various British-led famines, or the Holomodor and/or great leap forward if that's your bend). A lot of us are aware that it's not great to have one human with an outsized influence working on large systems about which they have little expert knowledge or personal experience: those folks can do things that have great consequences for our lives while experiencing no repercussions themselves. For instance, I'm pretty sure some asshole is going to try to fix global warming by unilaterally deciding to change the albedo of the planet, and that'll cause massive problems. They will smugly claim that at least someone is "trying" something (instead of adjusting the ecocide of the planet by the forces that created their wealth) and when it goes wrong they will just retire to their lair in Montana or wherever and tell themselves that at least they didn't buy another great big toy.
