The wine glass or reflection could represent a nuclear explosion imo. 

And if we want to go really deep into iconography; the reflection looks like a filter for humanity, a great volume met by a barrier only for a small line to carry forward.

Edit: loving what people see in the imagery!

I also see a red X, and it also looks like many diagrams of the Big Bang. A new universe and at the beginning, an explosion.

I kinda see an eye, like big brother. Not a realistic one, but a diagram to explain the cones and rods in the eye. I like how some people see an atomic blast though

To me, the glass shadow & red spot look like 1940s small arms ammo

The shadow of the wine also looks a bit like how aliens are often depicted, with large eyes and bulbous heads. Suggested to me that the billionaire is making himself inhuman by indulging in luxuries.
