Introduction

What am i talking about?

I want to make sure people understand right off the bat that I’m talking about billionaires and the billions of pieces of green paper (either physical or digital or value of items) they purportedly own. I am not talking about the billions of human beings on this planet. Drastically reducing population growth would also be a beneficial exercise, but not one I’m talking about.

how did i get this idea?

A few days ago (this is Aug 2026), I was walking through a local branch of our amazing public library system, admiring the beautiful paintings on the walls, and the book collection on the shelves along the outer walls of the building. A book title that caught my eye was “How to prevent the next pandemic”.

I continued walking around, looking at the other books, and saw one by billionaire-spouse Melinda Gates, then one about Elon Musk by tech celebrity whore Walter Isaacson. All these inputs coalesced in my head, creating the title “How to prevent the next billionaire”.

It didn’t take long for me to realize that preventing the next billionarie is going to be extremely hard, or maybe not terribly useful by itself, considering there’s too many out there already, so the idea morphed into preventing the next billion (which is probably harder, because the billions keep multiplying like viruses), but attempting to prevent either is a worthy effort in itself.

Yes, this is a full-on assault on “Fealth”: Filthy Wealth. I won’t waste my time or yours on pretending that (wanting) a ridiculous amount of money can be a good thing, and how you need to break free of your feelings of guilt about wanting to amass immeasurable amounts of money. There are plenty of pseudo gurus out there who have written books like that.

1. How many are there?

According to Wikipedia, there are 3,428 billionaires in the world in 2026. Up from 470 in 2020. Eight times more billionaires. But it’s not just the number of billionaires. It’s also how many billions they own. Their combined net worth in 2026 is $20.1 trillion. That’s $20,100,000,000,000.

That’s up from $898 billion in 2000. So the total loot they own has grown twenty times.

Oh, and while we are at it, let’s not forget the wealthiest religious organizations, starting with the Church of Mammon of Latter Day Scoundrels (LDS), followed by religious organizations of all religions in all kinds of countries: Islam in Iran, Hinduism in India, Catholicism in numerous countries etc. etc.

For God so loved the world…

Needless to say that sort of money could wipe out every issue plaguing mankind almost immediately. Hunger, poverty, war. All of it.

2. What color are they?

Obviously all colors. all nationalities. The US has close to a 1000, China over 500, India and Germany over 200, and Russia almost 150 billionaires. It obviously doesn’t end there. Big countries, small countries, in every continent (except Antarctica) has them. Tanzania has one. So does Zimbabwe. And Eswatini (formerly Swaziland). And Guernsey, one of the Channel Islands apparently.

This virus is absolutely all over the planet, sucking it dry. It’s a form of the Reverse Midas Touch. These people take life in all its vibrant forms, kill it dead, and convert it to lifeless stuff.

3. Is it too late?

Yes. Yes, it is. The fact that a virgin book writer (someone who has never written books, to clarify the term) is writing this in 2026 means that we have not only let this disease run rampant, we have actively created laws for, and repression mechanisms against alternatives that could reverse the necrosis.

But it’s only too late for this civilization. Not for the one that will inevitably arise out of the ruins of this one. And the default one will be deadlier than this one if we allow it. again. And so we fight.

4. Mommy, where do billion(aire)s come from?

When a billionaire man loves a billionaire woman very, very much…

Okay, that may only be partially true, because I would wager, without any due diligence, that almost none of the current billionaires had billionaire parents.

Metaphorically, they come out of the womb of separation from life. that’s an incredibly ironic statement. A womb that’s supposed to birth life, that’s itself separated from life.

5. So, is it just billion(aire)s?

Clearly not. That’s a question I have asked in a few different social media platforms and have heard deafening silence. What’s your number? How many millions (or billions) do you feel you need, before you turn around and say, “I’m done. Everything beyond this point is going right back into the community or the world”.

Again, with no research on my part, I think: shouldn’t $5-10 million be enough? If we set the bar that “low”, can you imagine the amount of wealth that gets freed up to make this world an absolute paradise for everyone? no one left behind?

Try typing that question into a search bar on your browser: ” How much money do you need to live comfortably?”

It tells me that a family with three children in the US needs $280,000 annually. That is insane. Only the ones furiously and recklessly climbing the corporate ladder are on the other side of that number. Everyone else dies. Of course, this is the “data” that the internet will give you. And, btw, the data that AI will give you. because AI feeds off the garbage on the internet. Slop in, slop out.

6. But, aren’t there good ones?

Oh yeah! Aren’t there amazing, angelic ones that are donating their hard-earned billions (or at least millions)? Aren’t there “benign” ones who simply happened to accidentally land in the lap of fealth due to their incredible talent?

If you believe that, go look at the previous section. How much do you really need?

Sure, there’s Ashoka, the Indian emperor who killed somewhere between 100,000 to 300,000 people before he decided to renounce violence. I doubt Hitler would have stopped on his own. So also, the current billionaires won’t stop accumulating. Maybe they will drop two pennies in a homeless person’s pail – figuratively speaking; it could be hundreds of thousands, or even a few million – but they will never turn off their wealth sewage pipeline that is flooding their soul.

7. How do we prevent them?
