    Once you have a few million I imagine getting to a billion is a lot easier.

    How so?

    In any case, idk why you’re so opposed to taxing the hell out of them.

    Who said i’m opposed to that? In another comment i argued that taxing billionaires is not the answer to get rid of them because in fact it doesn’t.

    Tax alone isn’t the answer. if the richest man in the world were to pay 200 billions a year in taxes they would still be a billionaire and if these 200 billions ends up on building a ballroom for politicians not much is achieved.

    A billion is an amount of money so ridiculous that it should simply be illegal to have that much.

    A billionaire is 999 times richer than a millionaire, you may end up a millionaire by chance but there’s no way you can magically become a billionaire. Assuming you bought 1000 bitcoins when they were worth a cent you would have sell them at 1 or 10, assuming you win a billion at the lottery you would give some of it away and cease to be a billionaire as a result.

    Keep also in mind that these people work hard to secure contracts and royalties, the more investments you have the more work you have to do to manage them.
