I think it's simpler than this: she's one of the "good people", so he "deserves" her wealth unlike the "bad people" who don't. The "unfathomable wealth" thing is the rationalization.

It's like back when Al Gore was doing his whirlwind tour on global warming in a private plane. When people criticized him for doing that the response was "yeah but what he's using the plane for is good, so it's OK".

And I think I now understand what people mean when they say leftism is secular Calvinism.

Could you elaborate on this?

Calvinism has this notion of the "Elect" who are the ones pre-ordained by God to be saved. While you can't know with certainty who is or isn't a member of the Elect, generally Calvinists assume that if you're successful in life it's because you're a member of the Elect and as such you are deserving of your wealth.

Calvinists believe that God chose the Christians who will be going to heaven before they were born and you can't do anything to change whether or not you'll be a Christian.

The left believes themselves to be the chosen based on their own secular world view and they deserve their station in life.
