They don’t actually have good reasons to think they’re better than others, so separating themselves physically and in how they live is often enough. They just need to feel that rules don’t apply to them but do apply to others, and that they have influence over those rules.

It’s about re-enforcing an already twisted worldview that isn’t justified in any way, using the most obtuse of reasonings for why they must clearly be superior, and thus why they “deserve” to work from home. Just like they “deserve” to be able to snort cocaine off their secretary’s tits, because they’ve “earned it”, damn it (by being born to a rich family, of course).
