    I’m sure the moment I were to become a billionaire people would finally pull out the guillotines.

      Nah. Except yeah, probably. People aren’t great at handling subtleties - e.g. “tax the wealth” becomes “kill the billionaires”, as if the taxation part wasn’t the point, or the fact that actual trillionaires exist is somehow not relevant, etc. It’s easier to shoehorn facts into what people already want to do:-P.
