CMV: Billionaires buying flights to space is a good thing

So I've seen a lot of controversy about the billionaire space race, with some news articles calling it things like a "grotesque display of wealth". However, as far as I can tell billionaires buying seats on a flight to space seems like a good thing. Instead of *hoarding* their fortunes, they're *spending*, paying the salaries of many skilled workers in order to accomplish difficult technical challenges. That seems like a good use of money to me, and I'd much prefer they do that than stash all their wealth in the Cayman Islands or something. Now how they got their wealth in the first place can be problematic, but as far as I'm concerned that's a separate issue. Still, I wouldn't be surprised if there was something problematic about it I haven't thought of, so I'm interested to hear what y'all have to say.

They're paying money for a space ride instead of giving their workers. proper benefits, it's not their money to spend. 

But yes, if someone wants to argue that spending money on space period is wasteful, it circles back to the NASA argument, the money isn't leaving earth, only a bit of fuel and metal.
