Anyone who has amassed a fortune in the billions has necessarily done so through one of only two ways: exploiting the labour of very large numbers of poorly-paid people, or receiving it from those who have done so. Meanwhile, they have seen the plight of the billions of human beings who live in poverty and want, and chosen to use their vast resources almost purely to make more for themselves, rather than dedicate to alleviating such suffering even enough that their lifestyle is the slightest bit inconvenienced. The sanctity of "property ownership" is not so sacred a principle that it should take priority over wholly preventable widespread suffering and death. There is no moral argument that could possibly support this much of humanity's productive output being hoarded by so few, rather than going to improve the world in a myriad of ways.
