Well, would you?


Would you push a button that evenly distributed all wealth across the planet (one use only) and everyone in the world knew it was you who pushed the button?

Bezzos' money?
All money, all wealth. Evenly distributed across every single living human on earth above the age of 5 years old.

I will try to answer all questions for a little.

No, people will still own any physical properties they already own, jobs would remain the same (what choices people make after getting money is on them). Stocks would be liquidated and distributed along with the other money however (same with Crypto).

yeah I was mostly talking about stocks anyway.

I'd do it. it's worthwhile even if things like rental properties aren't included

Where are you getting $1.2 quadrillion USD?

When I did a search, I found $399.2 trillion, which comes out to about $51,000 per person. The table on page 8 shows the figure:

Last time I looked it up, it was about $36000 each.

1.2 quadrillion takes cryptocurrency and all investments into account (not sure about land/real estate though).

A quick Google search and mental math without actually looking into it.

https://www.rankred.com/how-much-money-is-there-in-the-world

So it's actually $1.237quad and 7.8 billion people. So slightly less per person in the end. Like $158,000.

But if their numbers aren't accurate then this isn't either.
