SENS is fundamentally in competition with dozens or hundreds of profit seeking organizations in the world. Donations to SENS are like donations to a charity researching better plastic surgery techniques. They will get invented no matter what, and the amount of money you can throw at it is trivial compared to the potential customer base of said techniques. If you cure aging, billionaires everywhere will fall over themselves to give you money.
But is that true that rich people all over the world actually steer the anti-aging research that much? Because they don't even throw money at cryonics, and I haven't heard that rich people massively started freezing themselves. Even if some third-world dictators say they want to be immortal, they don't go more than one small step far.
