Its about the money, let's be real. There's definitely an element of dunking on the wealthy/billionaires going on. All sorts of people, at all income levels, take all sorts of stupid risk, all the time. People have to get rescued from hiking in places they shouldn't be, skiing where they shouldn't, camping trips gone wrong, traveling off the beaten path, whatever.

This was a dumb risk but there seems to be an extra amount of internet glee about it since its something a normal person wouldn't have access to.
