I think wealth is a bit like physics in that once you’re talking about it on a big enough scale, the rules start to bend. $130 billion is more than the GDP of Ukraine, splitting it up is different than splitting a beach house.
- bradenb 8y agoWhy? And where do you draw the line? The rules allowed one man (i.e., one married couple) to acquire that much wealth in the first place, so why should the rules change once there's a divorce?
- mips_avatar 8y agoI’m kind of surprised any billionaires can hold onto their fortunes. A lot of people resent wealth.
- strikelaserclaw 8y agoI don't most people resent wealth or many people can argue that Jeff Bezos should not be extremely rich. He created a company that has benefited the lives of millions of people, it is only natural that he should be rich. I just think people would like to see a more balanced system. The top 6 richest people owning more than 50% of the worlds wealth? It seems extremely imbalanced, For example, if Mark Zuckerburg never existed, i'm sure the world wouldn't change too much, some other guy would come along and create a social network just like Facebook, yet Mark Zuckerburg is richer than some countries.
