    One of my favorite hypotheticals is that once someone gets to a billion money they get a trophy that says “I won capitalism” and anything over the limit goes to folk who need it.

      In a fantasy world I’d go even further to say if you amass $1 billion in wealth you have it all taken away. So either you consistently give away your wealth to keep it below that level or pray that you helped build a society where losing it all isn’t a death sentence.

        Take it one step further. If you amass $1bn you’re then executed. Best get rid of that cash homie.
