10. It is not about the money, I agree.

But the difference is that the Kochs enjoy causing human suffering while the others you mentioned all get pleasure doing something they love that also gives them a super comfortable living. And that is a great way to live. None of them are working hard to make life worse for people who are struggling to find jobs or make a living. But the Kochs are very different than them. Putting aside the fact that they didn't earn their wealth to begin with, they are different because their primary focus in life involves going out of their way to make sure those who are way less fortunate than them are as miserable as possible. I can't think of any logical explanation other than they are evil and sick.
