Bullying/elitism question

Is the victimization/marginalization/bullying of the unpopular by the popular kids in a school setting substantially different from a famous, or wealthy man, who gets drunk off his power and refuses to associate with 'common men'? As far as I can see it, the logic behind the former is "disparity in social value makes it justified to marginalize those with less of it", and the same applies to the latter.

In light of that, since all bullies are vulnerable to the latter, due to having mediocre social value in comparison, are they all just hypocrites? No bully would like, or even admit it is justified, to be victimized by someone more successful.

Please think about that carefully. It's tempting to say 'yes', but I can think of a few arguments in favor of 'no'.
