It's still pennies to them.

It's the retirement and 401k to us.

But it's acceptable losses for them.

I'd say it's an "irrelevant" loss for them.

If someone has $100bn and you take away $50bn? Oh well, they still have more money than one person should have. Who cares? As long as they maintain their position on the scoreboard relative to other billionaires, they don't care.
