Instead of an extravagant lifestyle only for a small few as a result of their intercepting and concentrating the majority of the labor output, all people could live a similarly extravagant lifestyle if the system were to change entirely.
It would require a massive shift, including off-world resource acquisition and hugely increased energy generation as the amount of both required for every person alive to live in luxury vastly exceeds that which is available on earth, but it’s not impossible to complete without causing others to suffer. That’s just the easy route for the planet’s wealthy sociopaths.
