What you fail to consider is that no one owns money. Once you die, you dont take your cash to the grave. Im getting philosophacal here, but people are only shepards to money. They are maintainers and once they die someone (or many) will take their fortune.

Like energy, wealth can not be destroyed - only transferred.

The reason billionaires are allowed to exist is because they do a good job of maintaining that money for themselves and others.
