They plan to live like the Russian, Arab, and Chinese wealthy who also fouled their own home country economies and ran off to live in comfortable "modern" they can then try to f**k up by throwing their money around and corrupting the local systems to benefit them
Eventually, they'll run out of successful or emerging counties to play "visiting Prince" in, but for now, there's still a few where they won't have to face responsibility in.
They won't stop playing until they've turned everywhere into a shithole. Because they're quickly wasting the talent and resources needed to build their fancy Moon or Mars colonies, floating resorts for their ego-games and power grabs now.
Of course, the Prosperity Gospel Armageddonists don't believe in a future, and too many of them are near Billionaires in position of power, and they're far more wasteful of talent and resources than the Tech bro Billionaires.
