Every billionaire has enough power and influence to change the world on a whim. And every morning, every single one of them wakes up and chooses to be evil.

Imagine having so much money that you could never spend it all your entire life and your first concern is to hoard even more of it.

The more savy billionaires at least try to hide behind their "philanthropy", but it doesn't take too much digging to find out that those ventures are actually run for profit/propaganda.

Eden of the East has this as a main plot point and it's a badass show to boot if you like weird thinking shows/anime.

My wife has been trying to get me into anime, and I'll take this recommendation.
