Prepare yourself for the coming astral journey of death by daily riding in the balloon of God-perception.
Through delusion you are perceiving yourself as a bundle of flesh and bones, which at best is a nest of troubles.
Meditate unceasingly, that you may quickly behold yourself as the Infinite Essence, free from every form of misery. ~Paramahansa's Guru's Guru.

Billionaires have their own lessons to learn in life, and one day they too will die and discover that all their material possessions and social influence count for nothing in the afterlife. The important question is, what did they do with all their wealth and power? Did they try to help others or were they just driven by selfish ambition at the expense of other people?
We all get to experience lifetimes of wealth and lifetimes of poverty and everything in between. All these circumstances provide different lessons. So I do not begrudge these billionaires their brief period of affluence. At some stage they will have to examine all their actions while on Earth.
Where is God in all this? The Divine allows all things to be, and in the end everything balances out.
Peace

Some people believe there are good billionaires too, like the software-vaccine guy. (just kidding)

One would be in a pickle, if there weren't better options.
I believe that what you focus on is what you get (e.g. bad emotions and thoughts, get you situations that cause more of the same emotions).But, everybody should do only what they believe to be right, and not what they read on the internet, especially on anonymous forums.

Anger at least inspires motivation, while with despair there is a lack thereof.

Anger creates a reaction, does it inspire or motivate?
I doubt it.
But then, most are here to figure things out, good luck with that.

You're not getting the point I'm afraid, so let's try it differently. Use your imagination for a second and imagine you're a guy called John Connor who is a future resistance leader destined to save the world from uprising machines. Of course being such a hero is a great burden, both physically and mentally so obviously you're going to give in to despair at times. When that happens you can either choose to keep dwelling in despair and stop fighting, or you can have your loyal machine sidekick deliberately pee you off to stir up a reverse psychological effect where you temporarily let go of your despair and keep on fighting instead of doing nothing. Are you getting it now?

Yes.
Despair, aka, hopelessness = no power.
Anger = ya got your power back.
