    So no one is own to own a company? Because that is all his wealth. It’s stock shares.

          Genuinely asking what’s the difference?

          Like sure liquid $1T would be insane for one person to have, but a $1T company is equally as insane

            It’s not as insane because there is a significant difference between liquid and illiquid assets in how these can affect the world. However, regardless of how it compares, people owning more than a billion is one more sign our global economic system is very broken (and trillion even more so).

            A 1 trillion company trading at 350 p/e tells you everything you need to know about how liquid the market would be if he tried to sell it all

          I didn’t say that. I said nobody should have that much wealth. If the business is worth that much, no one person should own that large of a stake in it because it’s apparently a very important business.
