If I had the opportunity for some street justice on a billionaire I wouldnt fucking hesitate. That said, it would change jack shit. His wealth just passes to the next asshole.

In a hypothetical world where billionaires cannot go outside a security perimeter for fear of their lives, how soon would we see people refusing the inheritance or donating massive portions?

You just assume that everyone rich would seem rich. If i got billions noone would know. Not everyone needs gargantuan houses and excessively expensive cars and yachts. I would still live in a moderatly tiny house because i don't like housework AND don't like strangers in my house doing that. In fact i just had billions. Nothing in my life would change. I'd be safe in your world 😁

Also what for? To show others i have money? So i could never ever trust a person again? Not everyone wants to be a rockstar. Only those whose personalities are so undeveloped that they need the constant ego-strokes from random strangers to even feel something. I just feel pity for jokes like elon musk.

Can he trust his cook if it's a brown person? 🤮

It would change things if it becomes systemic. If they learn to be scared of being a billionaire, maybe they'd be less likely to want to become one.

I think they'd just hire more security. They have the money for it.

Edit: I agree with your sentiment though

It is enough to have one person doing the inside job, but this will escalate too and... welcome to modern Russia
