As in... kill them?

  Removing the status of royalty or billionaire from a person, not ending the person. "Sorry, this castle is a tourist attraction, and will also hold a vibrant community center. Your input to the legislature will now take the form of an ordinary citizen's letter to your elected representative. Those vast tracts of land currently used for fox hunting will be great for nature preservation and the outdoor enjoyment of everyone. No worries, you'll be set you up in a nice apartment in a pleasant area, with a livable pension, and a public transit pass. Not sure how how we'll re-stamp all the coinage, but we'll figure it out, and we have more resources now."

    Over the years, I've had several conversations with people who were successful entrepreneurs in Arab countries. Past tense, because apparently at some unwritten success milestone, some distant nephew of royalty is increasingly likely to show up and inform you that the thing you built belongs to them, now. And if you'd like a job here, we can figure something out. If you don't struggle, you'll end up in a nice apartment in a pleasant area, with a livable pension and a public transit pass.
