Just because the billionaires are dead doesn't mean their wealth automatically distributes through the population though. Their kids/spouses get it first and who knows what their intentions are going to be.
Inheritees are probably going to feel disincentivized to hold on to anywhere close to a billion dollars for themselves, I'd imagine, so there's that at least
If billionaires are literally dropping by the week, I think billionaires would actually be forced to do something about it, i.e. not be billionaires anymore or face the mystery "Billionaire Heart Attack" that's been spreading.
Or get a special law passed that allows them to conceal their identity.
I don't think it'd be easy to hide your identity unless its already non-public. Even just a single photo could locate someone nowadays
Not now, it would become that way though if this went on long enough
But are they living alone in a bunker or something, someone knows who they are and they are gonna get caught 99/100 times.
