    Billionaires will hire a team of security personnel, but once money is meaningless they have no power over the security team. Which means the head of the security team becomes the war lord. The billionaire probably doesn’t survive.

      That’s why you have multiple security teams, each reporting to you through a different chain of command, so that disloyalty in one group won’t spread to others and one leader can’t win the loyalty of all your forces.

      And that’s why you have additional security teams whose job is to spy on the others and report disloyalty back to you.

      And that’s why your security teams are not deployed where their families live, so if one team stages a coup their families will be elsewhere, in the hands of other, hopefully loyal, security forces.

      Oh hey you just reinvented government.

      I remember reading about some seminar for billionaires in which one of them asked if it’d be a good idea to force the security force to wear bomb collars for just this reason.
