    I don’t care about lists of wealth hoarders, I want a list of all the people who have lost gross amounts of wealth and why. And lets start with a list but try to keep expanding it until its a pamphlet, or a book, or a tome.

    edit: corrected typo

      people who have lost gross amounts of wealth and why

      I would like to start a list with the “why” filled in as “beheading” and just begin populating it from the top down.

      I want a list of the wealthiest and how they came into their wealth. Why? Because that way I know who to keep an eye out for. :)

      Also, I’m less pissed off at people who inherit wealth than the ones who horde it. Someone who inherits billions and then doesn’t use it isn’t nearly as bad as someone who has billions because they crushed everyone else under their heel. The former didn’t ask to be born into that life, but the latter sought it out. That doesn’t mean the former is blameless, but they’re not necessarily evil like the latter.

        In a just world the “wealthy” would have at most 100 times the wealth of the poorest person on earth, and it would barely matter.
