They can't just jetset anywhere they want, ignoring the pain of the plebeians, they have to remain cloistered as well.
Granted their cloisters are grand compared to most but no amount of money will allow them their previous freedoms.

trophy homes went there. So many of the trophy homes that sit empty in winter are all fired up and occupied. They contributed to emptying out our grocery stores. When they get sick, they'll help fill up our small hospitals.

If you are really wealthy like Richard Bronson, you have a private island. You jet there and hunker down completely isolated from the world until they have a vaccine.
