Nation-state Rich

This is Vsevolod Kozhemyako, a Ukrainian Forbes millionaire, father of four and the founder of a large agricultural concern:

He’s one of the 100 wealthiest Ukrainians.

This is Kozhemyako before the war:

Dude liked to play golf and practiced Alpine skiing. Obviously, he didn’t have to go to war but he volunteered on day one, fought to defend Kharkiv, then fought in Bakhmut. The most dangerous battles of the war so far. And all that time he could have been on a villa somewhere in the Alps or wherever.

This is so that people can spot some differences between nation-state rich and post-nation state rich. How many of our country’s 100 richest people would go in the trenches to defend us? I sound stupid even asking this question.
