I think they are referring to the fact that, ignoring the personalities who hold this kind of wealth, it’s just not a viable investment strategy for a project/organization as large as society to have all that wealth tied up with only a few assets (the billionaires).
Economics tells us that diversifying the investments (equality, if you will) is a safer bet for society in the long run.
I probably misread GP but hey, at least I tried!
