What can you realistically steal that isn’t worth peanuts to them? You could take a car or some jewelry or maybe destroy a building, but their massive hoards are mostly in these intangible things called shares. It only exists on record and it only has value to those who are similarly greedy.

Their life, on the other hand… 🤔

The police are thier private security force…

You know, it’s kind of like this with land. Laws around Adverse Possession (Squatter’s Rights) are basically the legal framework for taking possession of land when someone has so much land or are so absentee that you can use it without them noticing. Generally, if you you can use their land openly and they don’t challenge you, after a set period it’s yours.

Don’t know how this would work with money, but it’s interesting that you can legally take someone’s property if they have too much to manage it properly and you need it.

Sometimes I think it’d be funny if there were a single billionaire on Lemmy watching us make fun of them. Google says there are like 2600 billionaires in the world. I imagine that’s pretty unlikely, tho.

But hey - if there are zero billionaires on lemmy, that means we have ourselves a billionaire-free zone!
