One, I don't envy them at all. And two wealth is just another word for power. No money, no power, lots of money, lots of power.
And it doesn't matter what the currency is after the apocalypse, what matters is who controls it - again power.
If I were a multi-billionaire I would not worry so much about having a comfy bed to sleep in, as I would invest in a serious power station (in my underground bunker) - maybe nuke - energy will be one of the most valuable assets.
