Comment on Larry Ellison Just Quietly Became the Most Powerful Man in America

Of course the idea is extremely oversimplified, and yes, you’d need to adjust for inflation
And no, 100 million is way too much. Everyone can already today live quite comfortably with a net worth of 10 million. In a world where there is no such thing as student debt, medical debt, etc, one would need way way less to be comfortable.

100 mil isn’t too much. Cancer can wipe out ten mil.

Again, in a society with an actual functioning healthcare system. See Canada, western Europe, etc…
