This is all fantasy fiction writing. No one becomes a billionaire without exploiting others significantly, nor is any billionaire worth it.
Once you break 1/2 of that it’s very simple to direct one of the many accountants you have on staff at that point to unload money or assets. Failing to do so either reduces the supply of those assets or reduces the supply of cash. That’s driving up costs for everyone else.

Yes, this is fiction, absurd fiction at that, however it is an interesting point to try and find the limits of a chain of logic.
In this case this example was quickly proven that the example discussed was still valid as I hadn’t included the supply chain.
So even if the example was absurd it showed that the logic of the example discussed was still valid.
