What the fuck are you talking about? That's not how any of that works. Are you young or something because there's no way you're going around pretending having a billion dollars is the same thing as owning a billion dollar company and then defending that fictional billionaire because you're fuckin bored?

I think what you're trying to say, and not making a lick of sense, is that in this hypothetical scenario this person owns a publicly traded company and owns 100% of the shares worth 1 billion dollars. If that is what you're saying, that person doesn't have a billion dollars, they have the ability to sell shares and theoretically, and only theoretically, make a billon dollars. That's not what were talking about. We're talking about if a person HAD A BILLION DOLLARS.

Not if they had a billion dollars but it was lost at sea, not if they had a billion dollars but it's all in gold buried on an island, not if they have a billion bitEthereumDogecoins and technically they're worth a billion dollars as long as they never sell them. We're not talking about any hypothetical scenario you want to come up with right now. We're talking about a random schmuck who has a billion dollars. Now do you believe that person should give all their money away except for, let's be generous, and say the last 10 million dollars? Enough money to never work again, for their partner to never work again, for their kids to never have to worry. Do you believe that? If not, and all you're doing is making up hypothetical scenarios as to why the poor billionaires have their hands tied when trying to not be billionaires, then you're just defending them. You're going online, and defending the people robbing you of a better life.

Now if you'd like to talk about your hypothetical scenario, we can do that. That's fine, but that's a different thing. So let's say my interpretation of what you said is true. That person could keep on owning that company and, as long as their take home is reasonable, and they're not able to leverage those assets for loans to make themselves live a rich asshole lifestyle. That's fine. But the moment they do sell those assets or do leverage them for self-gain, then they need to be getting rid of that money as fast as possible. Taxation, donation, gifting. Right now loans are capable of being taken out again owned assets and essentially escaping a large chunk of taxation and distribution, that should be prevented.

But if that is the minimum, I'd say the correct thing for your hypothetical person to do would be to additionally pay their employees partially in stocks. That way even if the billion dollar's in stocks is being leveraged, it's being leveraged ideally equally amongst all creaters of that profit.

Every person should own a portion of the company they work for, that's just common sense. A portion of the land their business is on, if not the whole thing. Their entire house (but maybe not the land). Their car or a portion of any private mass transit (although of course public is better). Their tools, their food, their art, their hobbies on and on and on.

There is no hypothetical situation where someone is justly living as if they had 20 million dollars or more. They cannot be good people and have that much wealth. Especially at the billion dollar figure.
