Nah, man. The Fyre Festival going to hell was shady af. There were some not so rich people as well that had saved up money to go/life savings and got met with that shitfest of an organization embezzling money, stealing from customers and generally incredibly bad planning.
I get the whole hating on rich people cus it seems like ALL of them take so much away from you but they're people too with their own issues, morals and values. Depends on the person. I grew up pretty poor, under the poverty line at least, flaky dinner and sometimes we wouldn't add potatoes because veggies are cheaper or having spaghetti with Ketchup two days in a row. Didn't get much except when my father was around which was as often as he felt like, could be a year or two, or just a week between visits. But always cash from him or his friends when he did show a sign of responsibility and not going to jail or being hardheaded.
What changed my hatred for rich people was actually befriending some rich kid in high school (I didn't know he was at the time) at a private school I was sent to in 8th grade after a knife incident at the public school I went to. My mother flipped her shit, talked with the social services and it got basically funded to give me better people to be around. Either way, this led me to a party later on in life (I'm 18 now) at their house once that was sold to me as a house party but in reality was his fathers party for colleagues, lawyers, CEOs, owners and workers of shit. Talking with them to hear their views made me just realize they're no different than gangsters, everyone wants to make money but they're different on how they go about it. Some give a lot back to the community, others try their best to take advantage of it all.
I also started a company with a friend and we landed on an open office thing in Oslo that didn't cost too much as we were starting out. The owners were cool with us and knew budget was a thing. This again has led me to party with CEOs and rich af people. The same issues, insecurities, lack of fathers being present (doesn't matter if it's work or jail), violence, alcohol and drug abuse are present. The bad development from both gangsters and rich people are the same too, it doesn't matter if it happens in the street or on a political level, those activity centers for youth are still being shut down or hard headed people will go to them to cause a ruckus or sell drugs there. Some give a lot back, some try to take advantage. Just two sides of the same coin.
I get where you're coming from tho, had the same mentality until I was 20 or some shit. The place where I grew up a kid got beat up for wearing certain rich people brands that was cool af to anyone else but a few areas in my city with a bad rep. Felt like we didn't get anything from them, soccer fields were gravel, no skate park etc. so you'd be smart not to buy/wear anything from brands leading or glamorizing the rich disgusting vibe.
