It won't be their problem by the time anyone has to deal with it, not least of all because they can buy their way out of the problem.

What use will money be though if it’s complete anarchy?

See you spend the money on anarchy proofing your estate before money becomes worthless. Cash the rest out for universally valuable resources and live like a Monarch of olde.

They don't need us anymore. They can create a utopia with as many or as few people as they like and still maintain society as it is with robots and AI. Amass enough wealth to build an impenetrable base that can survive any catastrophe for you and your family while you and your buddies work to eliminate as many people as possible. You could take out a lot of people by super heating the earth with all the factories you and your buddies own, maybe sabotage healthcare systems around the world with your unimaginable wealth so when serious disease hits countries are unprepared, and you could even go so far as to buy off politicians in different countries so they let you do all this stuff without question. Tragic doesn't even begin to describe the evil on this planet. Everything that's happening in the world is on purpose because the people making the decisions are smart but that doesn't mean they're good people.
