How many billionaires can the world support?

In todays conditions, I think we are at the mercy of the goodwill of billionaires.
If they all got together, with a common purpose, they could plunge the world into recession, bring down govornments, do practically anything they wanted.
Because these days, you can move your money in seconds.
Maybe it's about time they paid a bit of tax.

While there is a market for shit, there will be assholes to supply it.

I am, somehow, less interested in the weight and convolutions of Einstein’s brain than in the near certainty that people of equal talent have lived and died in cotton fields and sweatshops. - Stephen J. Gould
