From the show’s summary it seems like this is going to end up being disgusting billionaire worship.

The hope of running into a billionaire and having it change your life is not much different than buying a lotto ticket.

Running into a billionaire isn’t going to do jack shit to your life. The household name billionaires heard it all from passers by and don’t pay any attention to the little people. What are you gonna do, run up with a slide deck to pitch your jump to conclusions mat?

Billionaires don’t live in the same world we do, literally. They have people get things for them. They live in gated communities you cannot access. They vacation on yachts and private islands you cannot see. They go to Lakers games in private box seats with a back entrance. They are members of clubs and gyms you are not allowed to join, even if you could afford it.

What do you do if you see Jeff Bezos scarfing down an Egg McMuffin? Nothing. What he’s doing in public is none of your business. He doesn’t know you or care what you have to say.

"And two, if you need anything taken care of, and I mean anything, whether it's a problem you're working on or your arms go numb on the toilet, he needs someone to wipe your ass, call me, and I will make it happen"

So from Jeff's POV you're offering to do lackey work for free. Or did you mention a price to wipe his ass?

Either way it seems highly probably someone like a Bezos or Branson got to where they are by having an inner circle of friends and advisors helping them out. Not counting the thousands of people already in position to fuel their jets and wipe their asses. And you're not in either circle.
