I was just reading about the Davos get together in Chris Hayes' Twilight Of The Elites.
He said it is a demonstration about the uber rich still trying to go that extra hill to get to the very top...google C. S. Lewis and the Inner Ring speech. Hayes points out it is an exercise in humility and paranoia for those who are rich enough to go. The 1 percent are bussed to the chateau while the .0001 percent are flown in from Zurich on private whirly birds. The "humiliation" is on purpose. The 1 percent will do all things moral or not to get in the inner ring of those fortunate to get flown in. Something about a fractal model for wealth and status.

Probably why with all his money Trump still felt the need for the Presidency.
