I agree. The idea that only the poorest/least successful earn the "right" to kill themselves is a fallacy.
One of my oldest mates topped himself a few years ago. He was in a very good job, traveling the world and earning good money but he still decided to end it. If the misery runs deep enough (he had issues from his past that I won't go into here) then wealth and status aren't enough to shield a person.
The only way to lose the black dog is through support and understanding, something I wasn't able to give my mate because I didn't know the extent of his suffering. This is one of my biggest regrets.

One of the wealthiest “have it all” types I’ve ever encountered killed himself a few years ago, to this day nobody knows why, he literally had it all, fabulous lifestyle - with none of the media crap that a “celebrity” has to put up with - self-made guy, beautiful wife, daughters, toddler son, collection of Classic Fast Fords and Porsche’s, on the surface he had everything, happy go lucky (we thought) no history or knowledge of depression.
Hung himself after seeing his eldest daughter's graduation,all he left was a letter saying sorry with no other explanation.
We thought something terrible would come out subsequently to explain it perhaps, maybe his business would suddenly report massive fraud or whatever, to this day nothing, the business has gone from strength to strength but the family left hugely damaged by the shock which I doubt will ever go away.
We never got the chance to give him any support, he was to all intents & purposes the last person on this earth you'd have thought needed any,
