That’s a strange argument. His wife owns half of these dollars, so no one should feel for her as well?

(I personally don’t care about Jensen. I just don’t think that “people don’t deserve sympathy because they are billionaires” makes any sense.)

Being a billionaire is a choice to continue to hoard resources that could be put to useful purposes instead. Yeah, I don't have much sympathy for people who choose to squander our society's resources like that.

Does a billionaire who became billionair by marrying a person who became a billionaire also bears the responsibility of hoarding because they choose to marry that person and not divorce early?

		No, not morally. If she divorces, she should also be subject to that proposed the wealth tax, which she won't mind because according to your frame she didn't choose to hoard.
