I don't believe they're that worried about it. A lot of people made a lot of money buying up 'distressed' assets after the GFC with the cheap credit available. If you're wealthy enough, you make money when things are going well, and you buy up anything that's on the market when there's a downturn (preferably with subsidies/cheap credit provided by the government).
If you don't need to have the income from a job to live off, the business cycle doesn't really affect you, it's all play money where you can be on any side of a trade.
