Instead of billionaires we need to distribute resources equitably and provide education for all. Then we would also have a thousand Mozarts, and a thousand Newtons and a thousand Korolevs and a thousand Pasteurs while we're at it.

Billionaires are just blocks along the road of civilizational progress and social development.
