If you listen to their interviews, they are both complete morons (which is probably why Jared does so few of them). A rational person would immediately start to think about the consequences to their descendants, but I wouldn't be so sure that they are making that connection. And if they are, I'm sure they just assume that their wealth will protect them (as others in this thread have pointed out).
