Context : SuperRich, MoneyAddiction

This is of course a "joke" product. But not joke as in it didn't exist. It was created.

I use it as an example, though, of a counter to the assumption that the SuperRich can't accumulate too much wealth because they'll need everyone else to buy some kind of product from them.

No. As the super-rich grab more of the world's resources for themselves, there will be endless human creativity spent on inventing ways that the super-rich can trade with each other, consuming insanely expensive and wasteful products simply to keep it out of the hands of everyone else.

There is no natural balance / NegativeFeedbackLoop which will stop accumulation by the super-rich.
