Especially when a lot of securities family and friends will perish in the catastrophe. I'm sure they will protect the billionaires with all of their might instead of throwing them outside and party hard on the supplies left.
Billionaires are even aware of this problem, I know there is an article where they brainstorm solutions to it.

i remember reading they were considering things such as "shock collars" and "biometric keys to the food supplies". lol they are so fucked the mercs they collar will erase them on day 2.
That.. sounds like the premise for one of the wackier fanfics tbh
"In a world ravaged by climate change, the only safe place left is a luxurious bunker. Two men live there: Sherlock, a delicate tech genius, and his supposedly steadfadt bodyguard John. As the temperature rises, so does the tension between the two men. Will love and loyalty win out.. or will class consciousness?

His long, delicate fingers pressed a button on his phone and suddenly John was clawing at his neck. The collar he had let Sherlock buckle around his neck last night, the strange whim he had indulged as a billionaire's kinky fantasy, was shocking him. It didn't hurt too horribly; it hadn't completely incapacitated him. But by the amused smirk on Sherlock's face, the voltage could go much higher. Sherlock turned off the device and waved a finger at his bodyguard.
"So don't go thinking of doing anything... naughty."
With that he sashayed out of the room, leaving John panting and trembling against the marble kitchen counter. As he collected himself, a curiously blank look came over his face. Sherlock thought he could predict John's every move. A down-on-his-luck army doctor, morals long forgotten in Afghanistan, eager to do anything to save his own skin as nature took its revenge on the birthplace of industrialisation. John was indeed most of those things. Except - a sliver of morals had remained.
The stockpile of stuff in the billionaire's lair could feed a whole town. The medicine stocks alone could save hundreds, in the hands of the right doctor. John could kill Sherlock right now and take it all - his fingers could move faster to Sherlock's neck than Sherlock's to his phone - but out there was an even greater prize. Sherlock was just a tech billionaire. His older brother, Mycroft Holmes, was said to be the real power behind the British government. Wherever Mycroft's hidey-hole was, John was sure it could feed a whole country.
John straightened against the counter and limped slowly after Sherlock. The soldier had one last mission to do for his country; the doctor had one last patient to save.
u see, the tension for liberals here is whether it's ok to kill two billionaires for the sake of a bunch of lame poor people, and the tension for lefties here is whether it's ok to root for a british soldier aka a war criminal. it's really the perfect set up. spicy!
They should really go with the biometric keys. So much fun to be had for the mercs passing around a torn out eyeball for the door retina sensor while giggling like little girls.
Yeah it's honestly really easy to just do that with bio metric systems or just torture the shit out of them (mind you a lot of these peeps when this goes down will be weak second and third generation rich and so used to pampering).
I'm sure all their luxury bunker security and service staff will happily continue serving them when money becomes meaningless

The same reason why Asoiaf nerds have never written a Cersei fanfic where she works at a Wal Mart or is forced to become a peasant
Lack of imagination
my partner yelled "AO3!" when I read this to her
High five to her from a fellow AO3 fan 😂 The superior fanfic site

I've read that, pretty sick shit like using food and shelter instead of currency to keep them doing their bidding.
The latter is just the former with extra steps
