Sure, everyone does dumb shit. But rich people have the money, time and opportunity to do dumber shit on a bigger scale. When they get in trouble they have the infrastructure to bail them out.

I'm not going to cry a tear for rich people who bolted themselves into a death tube and have have caused a multimillion dollar rescue effort to be launched in their behalf.

When poor people do dumb shit they're left to die in obscurity without any help. The news is full of stories about orcas destroying mega yachts, CEOs sabotaging their own companies and billionaires launching stupid new tech ventures. I'd enjoy watching them set their money on fire if it weren't for the harm they're causing everyone else.

If you can't feel bad about other humans dying a terrible death then I don't think I have anything to gain from your world view. Other than a reason to be a better human so I can offset the negativity your mentality brings to society.
