That implies they have something on their mind other than money though.
I don't think half of them can think of anything else.
hahahaha
They even made a movie once describing this exact situation and consideration...
These people/groups/families presently have so much wealth, that they dont even know how much they have. When it was estimated a century ago it was in the many Billions of dollars..... presently? what comes after Trillions?? They dont even list them in the 'Rich list' any more...
They control the banks, all industry, all corporations through a group of holding companies that merge back at the same place (every single listed company, including in Aus) is controlled by these families.
All media, all publishing, all news agencies, judiciaries, education.... it never ends...
Once all the wealth is amassed, then each and every bit of wealth and property of the individuals is next, look at all the treaties, environmental to impose regulation and taxation, the current TPP negotiations that we dont even know how bad they are for the people as yet (highly secretive except for some disturbing -wiki-leaks). All the resources of all that nations, then the nations themselves... how? look at the third world where billions of dollars of loads that we all know cant be paid back by poor/failed stated; collateral is what? the only thing left, once all the utilities and property and wealth reserves are gone, the resources and the land....
The World Is Not Enough - was the movie title....
