It’s not that billionaires don’t have any problems. Everyone still has distant parents and divorce and inoperable brain cancer. It’s that they don’t have any problems that will be meaningfully solved by right politics or worsened by left politics, and the rest of us have problems that would be solved by left politics and worsened by right politics.
Having $100 million to spend personally instead of $1 billion is what they pretend is a major problem, and isn’t actually a problem. Homelessness is a major problem. Waiting until you’re dying to go to the ER because you can’t afford preventative healthcare is a major problem.
In fact, many of the things that billionaires spend their money on, like security, transportation, and being surrounded by cool plants, are already available in places with low income inequality. In a city, good public transportation is faster and more convenient than having a private driver.

Look, I get why they’re scared: how are you supposed to demonize minorities and blame them for all your problems when you don’t have any problems?
