Rich fucks just fly more overall. While flying is very safe. If you do it more, then it is more likely you will be the one in the plane when the rare thing goes wrong. Quirks of privilege.
Importantly, they tend to fly private aircraft, which I have recently learned are not as safe as commercial airliners. Commercial flights are subject to countless safety checks and have redundancies for days.
The titan sub failed in part because stockton Rush (I couldn’t think of a more posh name if I tried) assumed the similarly impeccable record of submarines was due to something other than scrupulous safety margins.
Commercial airplane crashes always make big news and their crashes in the past always caused improved regulations to the point where there is little left to improve
Private airplanes, on the other hand, different story

I can’t imagine people that got rich by exploiting people and cutting corners have the strictest maintenance regime, either.
Guess those rich people are just going to have to start buying commercial jets. What a nightmare!
Riding with the peasantry class? Never!
Also very different airplanes

Yeah, key detail being, if we started listing car crashes from the past month, it would take up the whole thread.
You mean last week. Cars slaughter 580 people a week.
