At the IMF–World Bank Annual Meetings, filmmaker and activist Abigail Disney — member of Patriotic Millionaires — delivered a searing reflection on what extreme wealth does not only to society, but to those who hold it. Speaking from personal experience, she described how inherited privilege breeds isolation, erodes empathy, and distorts democracy itself: “There is such a thing as too much money. It’s bad for the world — and it’s bad for the people who own it.” Disney called for moral courage among the wealthy, arguing that true loyalty to one’s country means challenging systems that grind down the poor while protecting the powerful.
