    I’d start hiring hitmen to kill every billionaire in the world.

      Youre going to need to start a cult and get disciples. Even with some start up capital they can out bid you so your only hope is religious indoctrination.

      But first make sure their will & estate stipulates that their wealth will be evenly distributed among every deserving needful hardworking person on the planet, right?

        Why? Just imply sending another hitman! I think the billionaires would find themselves feeling very altruistic eventually.

          No… They’d just scale up security

          I don’t. They’d send their own hitmen.

        No need. If they have heirs, the wealth will be split. If the resulting heirs still have enough to be billionaires apply the solution recursively. Eventually it will be diluted enough that nobody is a billionaire.

        If there are no heirs it usually goes to the state (depending on jurisdiction).
