There is an interview with a guy who owns one of the companies that makes bunkers. He described being offered a lot of money to consult with a group of billionaires. They flew him in a private jet to an undisclosed location for the meeting. They wanted to know: How do we protect ourselves and our families from the guys we hire for our security? Bunker maker told them straight up: You spend just as much money building bunkers for your security members and their families as you do for yourself and your families, otherwise they are going to take yours. They did not want to hear that and sent him on his way.

I think most billionaires don't realize that when shit hits the fan the civilizational rules and support structures that made them rich and powerful probably will no longer be there for them. They will be operation in an entirely different environment and essentially starting over. They will have to negotiate, fight and die for their lives just like everybody else so they had better provision for strongly motivated protection. No matter how rich they are and stratospherically superior to the useless eaters now, the end of civilization will bring almost everyone down to the same level as new warlords rise up and take what they can from everyone else.

Can you be a tech titan when there's no longer any tech? No.
