this is true with all of them and why you find articles claiming some of them aren't billionaires, because the value of things they own fluctuates.
on the nukes part, how do you force people to live simple if you also live simply? I like the concept, the shire with just internet is paradice to me, but tech advances fast when society has protections of individual freedoms, you wouldn't be able to enforce that if the right to ownership. personal and private property are the same thing on an different, yet easily manipulated scale.
