Crisis tourism. A way to offset the ennui that goes along with that kind of privilege, of living such a pampered life that all of your needs are met. Same reason rich kids have always been attracted to NGOs and international "charities" or religious missions to third-world countries. It's not just about helping, or making yourself look good. It's a way to feel like you're actually alive.
I suppose that's like looking for the action, adventure and testing your limits that would normally come from something like military service with all the risk, but not the responsibility of potentially taking a life.
