Anyone that would stop would've done so well before they got to the point of obscene wealth. Billionaires can only stop hypothetically - the only way to get them to actually stop is through force.

Yeah its essentially a mental illness once they get to the billionaire stage.

I'm willing to allow that someone could have a change of heart after acquiring wealth, or can control of such wealth through inheritance.

I don't really care how such a realignment of thinking is achieved though. Be it force, visitation by three spirits, whatever. I guess my point is that as they have the capability to change but don't, which should inform our actions.
