Not to worry, the Earth’s oligarchs will want to have servants in space. One will not need to be rich to go — one will merely need to be obsequious.

That's about 3,000. But then thanks to SpaceX, the cost of going to space has rapidly fallen and will fall even faster in coming years.
By 10 year's time, there should be at least 20 000 who've gone to space.
