Assuming we continue under neobliberalism, eventually those billionaires will become trillionares too.

Or a simple currency re-structure could turn those billionaires back into millionaires overnight without changing their relative wealth at all.

Focusing in the word "billionaire" was, in my opinion, a messaging mistake. I always preferred 1% because it scales, though 0.1% or 0.01% might be better.
