Every time someone pitches the argument that billionaires got there through sheer intelligence and hard work, I want to scream “Have you seen anything this person has wrote or said in public? They are barely coherent! If you asked them where they are right now, they probably wouldn’t know because they pay someone to babysit them through their day.”

There is a non-zero chance that this is due to them having enough money to constantly be on their drug(s) of choice without consequence, though.

I can't imagine myself living that shamelessly

Even people who can't afford it spend their lives completely self-medicated out the ass until the day they die, it should be self-evident that people with no limitations are going to just spend their days zonked out on the deck of their boat instead of working on helping others.
