You wake up tomorrow to see a convoy of shocking news stories as celebrity after celebrity after major buinsessman, royalty etc is annouced to have died one after another.

From Elon Musk, Putin and Bezos to random oil tycoons you never heard of to Saudi Princes.

Heart Attacks, car crashes, falling on a teapot while playing Limbo, slipping in the shower. They are all unrelated events and all over the globe.

But after it's all said and done, people realize that every single billionaire on Earth has just died inside the space of 23 hours and 43 minutes.

How do you think the world would react?

What would happen?

Well that's part of the question isn't.

I assume most of them have plans. Royalty has succession, businsesses have succession, families have wills.

But with that kind of money, all at once.... It's gonna be a shitshow

Would be like the plot of MGS3 but on a global scale rather than a handful of idiots in a forest.

I'd rather them wake up tomorrow completely broke yet alive.

Let them suffer in poverty as they have forced others to suffer.

Anytime a rich person dies their wealth is diluted. It rarely ever 100% goes to just one person.

The influence of the rich would be diminished.

That said there would no doubt be chaos with all billionaires dying at once.

Better idea.

Every billionaire, millionaire, etc, wakes up to learn they mysteriously gave all their money away to people that actually need it.

Now everyone is a multimillionaire, even them.

Everyone is now on equal footing.
