I feel like a billion dollars is pretty safe upper limit on the sense that it's so ridiculously high that there's really no danger to anyone.
Like, sure, you can for example own stocks that are worth a lot but can't actually turn them into usable funds for reasons. What ever. At one billion dollars no one is going to be living in poverty.or even mild discomfort that could be made better with more money.
I also don't think anyone, the government or anyone else, can be trusted to be particularly smart.
Which is a point for limiting personal wealth. Money is power, especially when we're talking billions.
No single person should have that much financial power. Ten people owning a billion dollars is better than one person with ten billion.
