Let’s make a though experiment. Imagine that there would already be a functional technology for indefinite life extension, so people would not have to die of aging (they could choose it, but it wouldn’t be necessary) and people would live practically indefinitely long. But the society would have a problem about billionaire.
Would you suggest to solve the problem with billionaires by infecting all humans with a noncurable illness that is debilitating them for many decades, sucking energy from their bodies and joy from their minds, making them weak, frail and in last years also dependent and often bedridden, stealing their independence and dignity and finally killing 110 000 people every single day?
Just to solve a problem with several hundreds, thousands of billionaires?
Or would you target think and work hard to solve the problem with billionaires by soon other way and reserve killing of all humans only as a last possibility?
It is not only about your personal lifespan. It about life of every single human.
That’s such a massive extrapolation that there’s no longer any relation to any current problem. Longevity is fiction, but somewhat plausible. Your scenario is fantastic fantasy.
Currently, the top 10% is literally destroying the world. Them living longer means the world will end sooner, longevity or not, amongst many other problems.
And they are just the face of the evil nature of humans. If we don’t solve our evil there is no point in living longer. I don’t want to live in a world where human evil has more power, nor do I think the other species would want to.

You’re talking about creating hell.
