Has there ever been a study on how many "productive" billionaires there are, as compared to those who are simply rent-seekers?

Or a study that has shown that billionaires ("job creators") are those who are the primary driving force for wealth creation?

Or are the much-bandied Gates/Musk entrepreneur-industrialist types just a minority of billionaires, many of whom are just wealthy heirs or hedge fund owners or whatever
