Were all of them billionaires? I can't imagine the people actually operating the thing were, surely, just the passengers?
The pilot may not have been, although anyone described as an "explorer" is pretty likely to be wealthy. Three of the other four (including the CEO) were, and the last was one of the billionaire's 19 year old son.
Edit: Checked, the pilot (Paul-Henri Nargeolet) was also a billionaire.
The CEO was the pilot.
it was literally just the five of them
Maybe we should send another 150 or so subs, also filled with 5 billionaires each.
