i think if you get $10 billion dollars as soon as you cross over that mark something should be done with you. i don’t know what that would be yet, open to ideas and brainstorming

In china they ask for a charitable contribution to society such as fixing high speed rail or improving building infrastructure, and if you say no then a few months later you mysteriously disappear but luckily you edited your will right before to donate all your $ to the government!
Still too high. I'd cap them at 5 mil and even that seem ridiculously high. Cause that's not money you are making and spending - it's just money someone is hoarding, or using up resources the planet can't afford or other people need to LIVE.
Live a year on minimum wage only because after all, exploiting workers is what got them rich if they didn't inherit the money. Assess if they learned humility during this time and if not, they have to repeat the year.
Always reminded of Sting's accountant. Robbed about 3 million over the years but the dozy prick had no idea. When you have so much money you don't know a fraction of it is in someone else's pocket then you really don't deserve it.
My Max Leftist™️ self will be generous and say we need progressive taxes that you start to pay more over a certain threshold and your cap for winning capitalism is $1bil at which point you get a Tshirt and yeeted into the sun.
You get officially labeled a dragon. Dragons are outside the law. Dragons cannot form contracts but aren't bound by them either. Anyone may steal from you, even hunt you for sport. You may do anything in your power to preserve your life and fortune.
your marginal tax rate gets set to 100% but you get two slices of a 16 slice pizza at the yearly federal pizza party to show how much we appreciate you :)
Unironic 100% asset seizure above $100,000,000. Anything more than that and you're using it for something fucked up. Why do you need a yacht to stay at sea for weeks at a time for? Probably the kind of things nobody will let you do anywhere on land.
Send them a guy dressed like someone from The Matrix.
Tell them they're one of the very few clever enough to understand how to play the game. They've won, so now we're taking them out of the bottom-rung simulation and upgrading them to the next level.
These people like musk bill gate jeff bezos . Hit there cap for social security likely in the first month of the year an don't pay anymore all year. Social security is not broke Just need these people to pay fairly
You suddenly only have $100m dollars. Charities mysteriously gain $9.9bn. You have to keep *telling* people you have $10bn. You're never allowed to go into politics. You also never have to work again. So I mean.
Take it all away, give them a little badge they can wear that says Prestige 1 just like in call of duty. Then they can grind back to $10 billion again for prestige 2 and so on
Once you reach $1 billion you're given a little trophy that says you're the best around and you won the game of life and then we take half of that and you still have a remarkable life of ease and comfort because you still have 500. Million. Fucking. Dollars.
I'd say as soon as you get 25 million, for every dollar you make past that point it will be taxed 99%, and of course, it has to account for the means of which ones wealth is acquired...people like Elon don't necessarily have 200 billion in a bank account, after all. So various investments taxed too.
You’re taxed at 55% on your earned income, but you're allowed to donate half of it. This setup incentivizes billionaires to continue generating wealth because their generous giving earns them public admiration. And there's nothing they love more than themselves.
Prison at the first billion, with all assets siezed and redistributed. Nobody gets that wealthy without human suffering so pressure the ultra-wealthy in to actually spending their money instead of sitting on it, like the lamest dragons ever conceived.
You prestige. All the money is taken and you start over from zero. Since you're a genius and not just lucky, you should have no difficulty getting the cash back.
what if you invent food 2, don't think much of it, but become a billionaire unexpectedly overnight? I wouldn't want to accidentally kill the inventor of food 2 just because of inflexible bureaucratic oversight.
If you get to $1 billion dollars you have 24 hours to show your innovation by building a submersible, by yourself no help, to go down to the titanic with. If you make it back you show you’ve truly earned your money if not well I guess you shouldn’t be a billionaire.
Sent down to the countryside to learn from the peasants. Marc Andreessen and David Sacks could use a couple years picking grapes in Wasco or shoveling cow shit in Tulare.
All the replies drafting "once u reach $$$$ any more goes to blah blah blah" plans
They find ways to avoid reaching whatever amount, no matter how the law reqs documentation.
I don't have great ideas either, but capping billionaires (pun patent pending) ain't it.
If you do that you're a genius and exemplary human, and we need to ship you ASAP to a Goldilocks Zone type planet where you can help humanity spread with your brilliance.
Cap total wealth and tax 100% of everything above it. All income, all assets, everything gets recorded and analyzed yearly and everything above the cap is taken and used specifically for social programs and infrastructure improvements.
If you could blow 1M/yr for the rest of your life, for most of us, that’s like 40M and that’s a damn good life.
Billionaires put our pensions and wellbeing under their mattress and expect we just be good with it. We get shitty healthcare so they can have a bigger yacht.
I think it should be “everything the Mishimas from Tekken did to try to kill each other back to back” and then King does a Rolling Death Cradle on your obliterated corpse
Ideally it would just be forced retirement. Go live in the Hamptons until everyone hates you and then you die at 99 with an unfinished chicken sandwich on your coffee table.
You get a Prestige Rank like Call of Duty, all of your money goes to build libraries and you start again from zero. If you're truly a business genius, you should be able to prestige two or three times in a lifetime!
You lose all your money and the cops are now your enemies, but you get to keep all your levels in Being Unimaginably Wealthy so I'm sure it'll be a breeze.

And then we can eat them.
So people can topple it over and smash it.
OR
You get to keep it all if you win a gentlemanly fisticuffs bout with a gorilla
*crushed by a large hydraulic press
but you get an extra life
today, well, i have ideas but they are, uh, i'll say, "controversial"
Tell them they're one of the very few clever enough to understand how to play the game. They've won, so now we're taking them out of the bottom-rung simulation and upgrading them to the next level.
i'm 100% serious.

Could keep them occupied for a bit

U didn't say good ideas
Forced retirement.
Any financial gains over $10 million taxed at 100%.
10 billion is WAY TOO MUCH!
WEALTH CAP AT $5 MILLION BETTER!
And to my memory he used cheat codes anyway, before eventually just reloading an old save
the device is portable
also, all NFL, MLB, NBA, NHL, MLS, WNBA, and NWSL teams must be publicly owned like the Green Bay Packers

at $1B you get a sash saying You Won Capitalism
then you have 24 hours to start spending the money or we come after you.
A well regulated economy doesn't allow such extreme wealth gaps.
Pay your people better, fund the hell out of employee healthcare, do something other sitting on a dragon pile of gold while the world burns...
