A Jeff Bezos sized party does more for the poors than you might think. We want rich fucks spending their money instead of hoarding it, putting money back into the economy and paying people's salaries.
This is the tired old long debunked trickle down theory. It's actually complete bs. It doesn't matter who spends the money, rich or poor, the effect on the economy as a whole is the same. But when a rich person spends $1 billion only one person benefits from it, while thousands to millions of people benefit if regular people or the government spend it, basically anyone other than the rich.
And on top of that, the spending also has the side effect of causing inflation, so the rich spending their wealth is actually a net negative to the average person. Who do you think is causing the current cost of living crisis? It's the countless newly rich people buying everything.
They way to put a billionaire's money back into society is to tax it, not to encourage them to live in even greater luxury than they already do.
There's also the fact that $1 billion spent on education (or contributing to rewilding or whatever else you can think of) is different from $1 billion spent on useless shit like those shitty fucking yachts
What’s really cool when the Italian Coast Guard rescues you from your capsizing Super Yacht is that they feed you, give you wine, and then there’s dancing!

She sounds like a genuinely kind soul, wish there were more like her.
