I can afford it, but it would make me nervous.

Every leftist is obscenely rich, just ask them. Yet oddly you still demand others give you free shit. Free medical care, free groceries, all paid for by taxes on "billionaires."
Grok, If we took every dollar from billionaires in America and split it evenly, how much would each person get?
Roughly $24,000–$27,000 per person, using recent estimates.
Key figures (as of 2026)
- Total net worth of U.S. billionaires: Approximately $8.4 trillion (Forbes March 2026 data for 989 U.S. billionaires).
Other contemporaneous estimates range higher, e.g., ~$9.2 trillion (Americans for Tax Fairness analysis of Forbes data as of mid-June 2026) or figures around $8–9+ trillion depending on the exact date and methodology (top 400 alone reached $8 trillion by September 2026). - U.S. population: About 343 million (U.S. Census Bureau population clock ≈ 342.9 million as of late September 2026).
Simple division
- $8.4 trillion ÷ 343 million ≈ $24,500 per person.
- $9.2 trillion ÷ 343 million ≈ $26,800 per person.
Important caveats
This is a pure arithmetic exercise on net worth estimates (mostly paper wealth in public/private company equity, real estate, etc.), not liquid cash sitting in bank accounts. In reality:- Much of that value would evaporate or become far harder to realize if forcibly liquidated (company valuations depend on ongoing operations, markets, etc.).
- There would be massive economic disruption, legal barriers, capital flight, and other effects.
- These are snapshots that fluctuate daily with stock prices.
