It is not strategically beneficial to threaten your opponent with death for surrendering. Doing so will cause them to fight to the death.
It is far better for us to have them submit to getting under the thumb of the proletarian state than it is to kill them. They can be legislated out of existence in a way that doesn't threaten any of them personally provided they're given no power in the state. We don't even need to rush that, they can probably be phased out in a way that barely affects their lives.
I think at this point there's a tension between the strategic advantage of having billionaires willing to surrender (preserves forces, results in net gain of manpower) versus how fucking stoked the majority of people are to see them die (gains new loyalists, results in net gain of manpower) and to be honest I think that someone sitting down with a pen and paper could work out an optimal percentage that could then be applied on a case by case basis. No-names with vast fortunes? Whatever, reeducation. Your Bezos', Princes, Duponts and Langones? Written off by popular demand.
Edit: having thought about this more, I think you could even get the best of both worlds by rocking up to one of these fuhrerbunkers and announcing "We will be accepting the surrender of the employees but not the boss. In fact, any employees who feel like doing a little mutiny and bringing the boss out to us, or even just forgetting to lock the gate, will be handsomely rewarded."
Ahh yes, the Chinese method. "Kill the chicken to scare the monkey."
Lmao any situation you can imagine, China has already been there, done that and coined a proverb
Why can't we be a bunch of Asians?
Western societies had (several traditions of) proverbs too, but capitalism killed 'em by smothering them out with mass media
