Why don't you help brainstorm ideas instead of being dismissive? There is no right answer right now. Clearly in order for society to move forward in a healthy way, single individuals cannot amass wealth/power that is a millennia ahead of everyone else. The goal isn't to say you can't be wealthy. The goal is wealth/power cannot be obscenely beyond everyone else. These few individuals have more power than governments. This is a complex issue that requires a complex solution. There is no easy answer.

What's the threshold for obscene? That's an easy one, but still requires discussion.

Should a % of assets be frozen and redistributed after that threshold is reached?

Should we Logan's Run the top 10 richest and let the market adjust around that?

There's going to be some preposterous ideas! The answer won't be as simple as raise taxes. Regardless, these discussions need to take place so a good solution for the world can coalesce.

The OP just wants your hands off their money. They know it's a problem. It's not one they want solved. They probably also think they genuinely accumulated their wealth strictly from their own skillset with no external factors contributing to it.

Do they think they're a 100-billionaire too? Life goals I guess.

Maybe it's Elon. He's got a lot of spare time.
