Asking "why would a billionaire bother to steal your money?" is like asking "why would the guy sitting on an ever-growing mountain of teeth want to steal your teeth?"

Look, it's simple. If a person has to actively work to make money, they're not "the rich" and they're not the problem. A surgeon making $200k a year still stops making money if they stop showing up to do surgery, because they're still selling their labor. The radical discrepancies in how we value different skills are certainly a problem, but the guy who makes money when he doesn't even get out of bed is the one making money on the value of other people's labor.
