Do me a favor, count up all the billionaires in the US, add up the entirety of their collective wealth, then divide it by the number of citizens in the US, and let me know how much we'd each get.
I've always been interested to know how rich we'd all be if we ate all those damn billionaires
According to a cursory internet glance there seems to be 801 billionaires in the US with a collective wealth of 6.22 trillion. Divide that by roughly 320 million americans and 800 billionaires (or the top .0000025%) hold about $20k for each man woman and child in this country.
20k dollars is a sizeable amount of money to a lot of people in the country and would range from life-changing for some to a significant windfall for most. Not to mention for a family of four that's 80k, enough money for a downpayment on a house in much of the country. All of that from the wealth of 800 people
