Instead of chasing the person with $1Bn, wouldn't it be more productive to learn from that person and educate others how to earn good money and live a good, productive lifestyle?
Otherwise many are under the impression that looting and robbing is a way to go.
Because poor people don't have time to learn, they have to struggle staying alive. And very often the billionaires business's model is based on poor people making bad financial decisions, like pay day loans or buying products they don't need but are told that they do by the billionaires ad agency.
Also, if the billionaires give a tiny amount of their money to fund schools, people will get educated, earn more money and be able to spend more.

It might be, or at least a step in the right direction, if those billionaires were teaching free wealth acquisition classes as a full time job after they attain three commas.
Many of the wealthy are born into wealth and have family and institutions that help them maintain it. The poor won't have a start like that, so we might have to setup pools of money donated from these billionaires for the poor to start out with. It could even have a catchy slogan too. Something like, "No exploitation without education."
You can't learn to be a billionaire. And the way capitalism works not everyone can be a billionaire, more importantly not everyone needs to be a billionaire. I would go so far as to say no one needs to be a billionaire. But if we are going to put an upper limit on personal wealth then $1bn seems like a good starting point.
