That would seem the intelligent guess at first.

But if you look at history....insane men with wealth really only want 1 thing....to be in the history books.

By building this massive wonder of the world, he will be forever in the history books.

A "ROME" in the desert appeared from nothingness in the desert, brought up by the great ruler "So & So".

If you look at it from that angle, you'll see he doesn't much care about his citizens

Only in future history maybe Rome will be replaced with "Dubai" & war will be replaced with "Financial takeover"
