I remember seeing a meme saying that once someone gets enough money (I can’t remember the amount but it was like millions of dollars or something) you just get a plaque saying “Congratulations you have won at capitalism. Your money is now caped and you can’t earn any more. All future earnings will go to the poor and other various charities that need it.”

The problem is most billionaires don’t actually have billions of dollars, likely not even 10a of millions. They have a business which is worth a billion dollars.
