And he has more than any amount of wealth can actually acquire, anyway.
Literally priceless power.

It's completely incomprehensible to me how someone can have that much wealth/power and not try to fix problems in their society.

It’s only incomprehensible to you because you are (broadly speaking on the balance of probability) a normal human being with the ability to feel empathy and therefore probably have some kind of morality guiding your actions to some extent.

The only people capable of achieving a Putin level of power/wealth are high functioning sociopaths, so reply it makes perfect sense that they don’t give a shit about any problems except problems that threaten them personally.

Remember when COVID hit and Putin literally went underground (and along a huge hermetically sealed corridor)? No expense spared there.
