Obscene, but let's stop using the phrase "is worth" for rich people. They aren't "worth" any more than you or me. They "have" more. Though even that term is problematic in its neutrality.
Elon Musk Just Became The First Person Ever Worth $500bn.
He has used his wealth to buy govts/legislators, unleash Trumpism, promising to hand $100m to Farage, create social strife and divisions.
Like the rest of us, he will leave the world empty-handed.

90% of dividend not recirculated in the UK economy. No UK tax paid on dividends.

If the government wants economic growth it must bring essential industries into public ownership
Successive governments clobber households and small businesses by hiking interest rates to manage inflation, but don’t inconvenience corporations.
