Fun fact, if I were to inherit the wealth of a billionaire family member who was shot in public I’d get philanthropic real fast!
Many people say this. However of those who talk the talk, barely any ever walk the walk.

She did just that before all this mess started.

By this algorithm, it would have to. Otherwise it’d just create a new billionaire who’d go to the back of the line
In some cases, the wealth might simple be gone because the stock crashes of which the bulk of the wealth is built.
