What you're essentially asking for is that someone else do all the work, but give away the spoils because they did too well.

And you get into all sorts of value debates, such as:
1) Should there be a difference between a self-made fortune and inherited one?
2) Does the asset generate more "beneficial" economic activity in the hands of Edwards (or whoever) or in the hands of Rachel Notley (or whoever) or in the hands of PETA (or whoever he chooses to donate to)?
You can really spin this many ways...
