The outcome would be the same. If the 1% survived some event, they wouldn't be able to survive on their own and would thus die out. It would just take a little longer for them.

Eh, 1% includes like 80 million people globally, they're not all useless billionaires. There are probably a good number of them (likely towards the lower end of the spectrum) that actually work for a living and enough existing resources they'd have time to rework society.

The real question I have is how they'd be distributed. 1% globally or 1% per country/region. Both have advantages and disadvantages for survival.

Good points. I wonder if they would try to enslave each other.
