But generally wealthy people make more gambles in business, partnership, accountability, other people's lives and social welfare, and the general stability of the world.

Or creating a pesticide with the upside of remaining active in soil for 4 or 5 centuries (and recycling in the human liver for up to a year after exposure) and having it produced in an impoverished southern town and then exported to French Polynesia so they can continue to grow cloned banana trees.
Or like taking doctors on nice yacht lunches and golf trips and telling yes you really have developed a non addictive opioid.
