    They physically can’t spend it on themselves. There’s no possible way any one person can consume that much in a lifetime. The money need be forcibly redistributed to benefit society.

      Funding organizations, be it businesses, foundations, charities, or whatever, can very quickly consume any amount of money you throw at them. There is literally no upper limit to how much you can pay people to do your bidding.

        The problem is that they won’t voluntarily, so we need to take it from them forcibly.

          Well, yeah. There are literally billions of non-billionaires, only thing that’s needed is to join forces and stand up to them: strikes and taxes work wonders. The problem is most people would rather pick easier targets, and fight each other instead.
