Does this measurement mean anything to anybody? It doesn't help me visualize anything.
- coldtea 6y agoIt does bring into the mind the image of "a hell of a lot of money"....
- gonzo41 6y agoThey really need a serious billionaire tax. Something fun like: If your a billionaire and at your death your collective wealth was greater than 2 Billion. You get a public statue with a plaque that overlooks all slimy stuff you did to make that money. Also you can give your kids 1 Billion and the rest is returned to the government. Maybe even throw in a street name or something.
- dencodev 6y agoThey would just put the money and company shares in trusts. It wouldn't change anything. What we really need is for capitalism as we know it to die. It's unethical that people are having to worry about starvation, not having a roof, and not having access to medical care in the US while Mark Zuckerburg is colonizing an island of Hawaii and suing native residents out of their family land.
- adjkant 6y agoI'm all for killing capitalism, but that doesn't magically solve the inheritance problem. If they would put it all in trusts, then make laws to prohibit that. You need to close all the loopholes of inherited wealth, which goes far beyond trusts as well.
