Why do you think that minimizing taxes becomes their #1 priority? What actually happens is that they tell the guy handling your finances to save them some money, and that's their problem. And given their fee structure, they'll go as far as they need to, even though the rich person in question doesn't really think about their taxes all that much.

This is the real multiplicative effect of being really rich: It's not knowing that you'll never be short of money, but how many things you don't even have to think about, because they are handled in your stead.

This is where I'd expect AI will change the world for consumers first: The tasks that now require either a lot of energy, or hiring an assistant or eight, becoming so cheap a good chunk of middle class will be able to afford it.
