They don't all "have to be", it's more that those traits are more beneficial to reach that level. The problem isn't the billionaires but rather the entire FIAT system and the institutions that centralise power to the few families and wealthy elite.
If you could click your fingers and all the top 1000 richest disappeared while leaving the existing power structures, then new billionaires will fill the vacuum and nothing will change.

My idea here is that a medical treatment that encourages longevity and cures physical and mental illnesses could essentially cure the traits of these people. So nobody would fill that void if nobody exhibits those traits.
But I agree the entire system is the problem, but it's just a solution to one problem, hypothetically.
