it's entirely another to say "it's okay they died because they were millionaires, good riddance"
The latter just puts a bad taste in my mouth.

Billionaires*. There are plenty of millionaires that are fine people. Billionaires, however, don't exist without doing many, many terrible things, not least of which is waking up every morning and choosing not to solve any of the countless societal problems that they could solve with zero impact to their quality of life.

On top of that, this was an extremely risky endeavour, which everybody knew going in. That doesn't necessarily mean they deserved to die from it, but it's also not tremendously surprising, and it's hard to feel really bad about that extreme risk coming to fruition.
