Why will mansion owners get over £20k gift in energy bill reductions when typical households get around £1.5k?

I am sorry but I just don't understand,

I've done some maths on it (happy to share if anyone wants) and the 2-year govt. energy price guarantee could result in around £12bn going to the 2.8m UK households earning over £91k per year. £4bn will go to the top 1% of energy users, this will include mansions with heated pools!

My energy bill is going through the roof, over 2m people had to use foodbanks last year. But at the same time, the wealthiest in the UK are getting unnecessary government-funded energy bill subsidies to top up their bank accounts???

£12bn could give £4,200 to each of the poorest 2.8m households, feeding kids and heating homes.

Am I living in some sort of dystopian fantasy world? How do we stop this!!
