It is a game to folks like Welch. Do you honestly think that folks like him haven't insulated themselves against everything but a literal worldwide economic collapse?

Once you get a few million in the bank or wherever, it's a game to keep it growing and protected against taxation, you move it around, invest it in a wide enough variety of instruments and unless that worldwide collapse happens, or your a complete idiot, you'll never be broke and thus you treat it as a game.

There's a fascinating story in today's L.A. Times about Michael Jackson's financial woes. He's getting bailed out yet again by some financier types who think that they can prop him back up, put him on stage and make a few hundred million off of a concert tour. Jackson himself has gone thru hundreds of millions of dollars, been sued by everyone and their brother for everything from sexually abusing children to failing to live up to performance contracts yet he not only survives, he's got other people willing to invest in him, in our world he'd be broke and on food stamps, in his rarefied world, it's all just a game.
