Mamdani, the presumptive Democratic nominee to be the next mayor of New York and a self-identified democratic socialist, said Sunday billionaires contribute to inequality.
10 million seems low only because there are realistic things that can cost more than that. Nothing an individual could buy costs a billion. That’s the heinous part of billionaires in my opinion—it is just numbers on a screen for them to measure their dicks with. No realistic change of lifestyle is happening after the first billion, yet they continue to inhale dollars out of greed and habit.

wrong.
you can buy a lot of political favors
Musk just spent 250 million to buy an entire presidential election. Is there any history of someone spending a whole billion on one?
But he paid $40B for twitter. $250M is the kind of bargain you only get after prior investment.
(And I guess I found something an individual can buy for >$1B, which is even more reason to prohibit anyone from having this much money.)
Bezos is halfway there; his yacht cost 500 million:

Give it a few more years and I bet one of them will buy a a billion dollar yacht. But in an ideal world, such absurdities wouldn’t exist.
