Think about it that way: 85 richest people own only about 1.6% of the total wealth of top richest 1%. Which is probably about 0.3..0.5% of total worldwide wealth. And 85 people are not some monolithic force, even as they have some similarities, they can't agree on anything (see U.S. Senate which has about as many people - can it agree on much?). So the threat of these rich guys to the world is purely imaginary.
It is unfair to compare capitalists to proletariat in their wealth. Capitalists make money from capital, so a capitalist without capital is no more. Proletarian does not need any money to get his income. If you compare incomes of those 85 guys to poorest people they will make up a combined income of some poor 3rd world country like Cuba or Belarus, or at biggest like Romania (implying average returns on capital, inflation adjusted, of about 6-8%). Not half the world, not even close.
Top 1% will be yes, more like like Japan, but hey, Japan has under 2% of the world's population. So again there is little 'threat' or rich.
