That’s capitalism for you.
I think those gilded age people were still basing their beliefs on a very old idea of what wealth is supposed to be. The elite of Ancient Greece and Rome who would often fund public works projects. The gilded age industrialists really wanted to show the rest of the world how powerful they were. America wasn’t the same global power it was today and they were proving to the “old world” that they could rival them in beauty and wealth.
Modern billionaires have started to realize that if they controlled the government more than their predecessors, they could make more money. Their version of public works, museums, and gardens is a restructure of their role in society so they can become kings.
