It’s hard to pinpoint billionaires outside of using publicly available ownership interest. There’s probably way more.

What to be a billionaire? No way. That would signal that there is no economic action or prosperity in a nation. Dude all you gotta do is make the next tech innovation and you’re gonna be a billionaire even if you pay your employees half a million a year.

Jack Dorsey is a billionaire and he earned that shit. His company also paid people handsomely to work 15 hours a week and drink green juice.

No, it should be impossible to know if someone is a billionaire.

That would be nice. Need some all cash or hard asset (silver + gold) businesses. Blockchains are too messy for that. You can just see wallets or clusters of them and make inferences.
