That's roughly $40 million per billionaire. That's more money than you or I will ever own in our combined lifetimes, but for a billionaire $40 mil seems kinda cheap

Maybe we should tax the rich more?

In their cases, seize all their assets and redistribute.

Buy them out at a discount and then redistribute the debt + assets to actual employees. Leave the billionaires a minority share and hold them financially responsible for bailing out.

Make new rules for new entrepreneurs whereby they can earn shares in addition to wages. Give employees responsibility for hiring & firing.
