It takes a certain type of person to enjoy the life of a king in hell. I do pretty well (definitely not top 1-5%) and live in the US, and it definitely grates on the nerves a bit to regularly see cars that cost a half a million dollars and destitute families begging for food on the same stretch of road. I know a lot of really wealthy folks, and some feel the same way I do, while others don’t care as long as they get the best of the best food/goods/accommodations, etc.

also worth noting that our gini coefficient is quite bad but not the worst in the developed world, and there are plenty of other reasons folks of all socioeconomic statuses leave. Prevalence of guns and gun violence, a sometimes brutal militarized police force, mass incarceration, everything including food ingredients made prioritizing cost and scalability, the ubiquity of built environments designed by and for the auto industry, few environmental protections, poor water and food safety controls, an increasingly violent political discourse, expensive healthcare, no social safety net, declining life expectancy, etc etc
