Imagine having a Death Note. Just open up Wikipedia's list of richest people in the world, and write the top name once a week. After 3 or 4 weeks they would notice what's going on. Then they would scramble to spend all of their money to get off of the list, noticing, that they have too much to spend. For the last couple hours of their lives they would be aware, that having this much money is unreasonable. They would have learned something, developed, grown. Then they would bite the dust. In like 6 months society would be fixed. A man can dream.
Wealth doesn't disappear, so you still need to deal with the inheritors and you still have to deal with warlords who aren't notable or wealthy. Would "General Buttnaked" work in the Death Note?
Also, there's a lot of very powerful and wealthy people who keep on the down low. Trump, Bezos and Musk are outliers. If you really want a list for the Death Note, you use the DN to compel a target to reveal their pedoparty friends publicly.
death note if it was epic:
No... Wikepidia and the internet would just be shut down and the names of all the rich people as well as information about them would disappear. It would also cause mass chaos
