(this is kind of a tangentially related aside, by the way)

... but I struggle to understand why these folks are all fighting so hard to actually *take over*. This family are billionaires probably multiple times over. Were I a member of the family I'd undoubtedly be perfectly content w/inheriting what would probably be hundreds of millions of dollars and avoiding all this bullshit, and going on my merry way.

And this is "tangentially related" because I struggle with this in a lot of instances where rich assholes stand to either chill the fuck out and inherit several million dollars or ... fight their asses off for like, a couple extra million dollars.

Seems like a lot of stress for what amounts to the exact same quality of life relative to your wealthy/ability to do whateverthefuck you want.
