I'm not sure what the central point was to be honest.
It seemed to just be trying to say that the Robber Barons were misunderstood.

I do think it is useful in a capitalist society for some people to wind up with a great deal of capital to spend without a great fear of consequences. That role can be undertaken by someone so immensly wealthy that they can spend what would be a lifetime of wealth for an average person on a whim. It can also be undertaken by a lottery winner, or celebrity.
