      If you don’t specify a currency or a grade of inflation, this might kill far more people than expected.

      1 billion Iranian Rial for instance is just about 23752 USD.

      So, question: when the billionaire dies, does their wealth transfer according to local laws? So an entire lineage could instantly turn inside out, including bastard children on the fringes of inheritance, with only an estate tax to save them?

        Logically since all billionaires die, their lineage would be gradually wiped out.

        Where it gets tricky is how they would manage the money. If the money is not directly controlled by them, are they billionaires? So does the CFO of a multi billion dollar company also get turned inside out?

        It would be a heck of a monkey paw without stipulations that would make the point worthless.

          Every 12 hours, the richest person in the world turns inside out. Just one, every 12 hours. The only way to stop it is if capitalism ends and people no longer hoard wealth.
