Voting classes of shares solvers the loss of control issue like Rogers and Shaw trusts.
Look at your list of things they are all obsessive behaviours about power and control. They likely work for zero dollars. Effectively they do work for zero real dollars as there is no mechanism for which to use that money.

Didn't say it was about the 100 wealthiest, just that I have had the opportunity that most people would not to be able to see what it takes.
Agree that they are dysfunctional people. Not just the billionaires. Any top corporate person gives up similar qualities of life, but they do not leave the safety of the corporate world.
The reality is that they do give up so much to achieve their results. You want to punish them for that because you won't or can't do the same.
Again, how arbitrary is the $1B limit? Some would say $100M is too much. You couldn't spend that reasonably in a lifetime. Why not $5B? Or $50M? To my point above, anyone trying to limit people from succeeding should likely look inside themselves and ask why.
