    I remember a Ted Talk, and this was probably 15 years ago, where the presenter claimed that the first person to live to 200 was alive ‘right now’. There was no mention of what kind of person would need to cling to life above all else to be willing to undergo such treatments, and how much wealth and power they could accumulate in that time. I’m sure it’ll be fine.

      For the parasitic idle rich, they typically set up foundations and the like to shelter their wealth for their descendants. Not sure it will be all that much different in the wealth accumulation. I’m sure there will be many, many broad societal changes if people start living a whole lot longer. No question about that.
