      I thought someone did the math and said if all US billionaires were slaughtered and the money divided amongst US population, we’d all get like $400k+.

        I always wondered if it would’ve been cheaper in Iraq and Afghanistan to just pay everyone to hand over their weapons and leave.

        IF the billionaires are really worth their money.
        Unluckily the billionaires are only theoretically worth their money since it depends on the value of their shares in the companies, shares value that is only supposed.

            $400K in shares is theoretically more than what you have.
            There is no guarantee that this is what you will be paid once you sell the shares.
