From an Australian perspective it's hard to understand why some very rich people, like Taksin but Berlusconi in Italy would be another example, even bother to be involved in government.

What's the benefit?

Well Berlusconi would most likely be in jain unless he signed off some laws giving himself immunity

In California, there is currently a battle of the billionaires (or very close to it) in the gubernatorial race. The job pays just over $200,000. It has been reported that the current governor does not even accept the salary.
.

He doesn't. He also commutes with his private jet and stays in an hotel when hes working

To answer the question:

1) Need to be recognized.

2) Consolidation of power.

3) Wants to do good thing
