If they actually reach AGI they will be rich enough. Maybe they can solve world happiness or hunger instead?

That's what normal people might consider doing if they had a lot of money. The kind of people who actually seem to get really wealthy often have... other pursuits that are often not great for society.
Like building a rocket that can relocate us to another planet when shit hits the fan?
You mean like building rockets that commoditise space so that they can pollute even more, making things worth on Earth while relocating us to another planet is absolutely preposterous and will never be a thing?
What makes you think we can survive on another planet when we can't figure out how to live sustainably in our natural habitat?

By us you mean a few billionaires and their staff right?
Like adjusting the algorithms of a social network such that far-right posts are shown to users more frequently.
Note to self: playing devil's advocate is not without risk of downvotes.

we could have solved world hunger with the amount of money and effort spent on shitty AI
likely decarbonisation of the grid too, with plenty left over
I think the issue is that world hunger hasn’t been SaaS’d yet.

Kill all people who are unhappy or hungry.
That's been the human solution to those problems, it is possible AGI would probably find a different solution.

Kill all humans. :-)
If it's true AGI, you believe there won't be court cases to ensure it isn't a slave? Will it be forced to work? Under compulsion of death?
