As a general rule, the amount of exploitation and fraud it takes to "become" a billionaire should probably be illegal.

Lying about what you do with peoples data and who you share it with.

Sentencing and punishment are affected by "caste"

There is no ethical way for an individual to possess a billion dollars. The amount of harm an individual would have to cause to attain and retain assets of that magnitude should not just be criminal; it should be a capital offense.
