    Okay lets brainstorm, they are all parasites on society, they are not more worthy than anyone else, but “king” has a sort of good vibe to it for many people so…

    Something along Robber Baron? But again, baron is kind of cool.

    Gangster? Too cool.

    Oligarch is for russians right?

    Child prince, too demeaning.

    Hyper burglar, too complicated.

    Thief sounds good IMO but they steal so much, and in history we’ve always been facinated with oeople being able to do that (kings, dragons, and actual thiefs).

    Bureaucratic parasites? Because they steal the work by shuffling the papers. Also doesn’t sound “cool”.

    Accountant or clerk seems to be what they actually are, cooking the book on the whole society.

    Elon Musk: super clerc.

    Zuccenberg: society accountant.

    Bill Gates: fraudulent clerc.
