None of those billionaires are sitting on some giant amount of assets like the dragon. They just own shares in a company which is worth a lot of money because of its future earnings value.
Unlike smaug, who hoards wealth & stops that wealth from being put to any productive use, all those billionaires built that wealth themselves by making companies people wanted to buy shares of.
Libtards don't understand capitalism or productivity or actually taking risk. Instead they think visionaries & capitalists serve no purpose, and all the value in the world is created by dumbfuck wagies punching their timecards.
Trying to explain speculative wealth is pointless when you're talking to people stupid enough to believe in the labor theory of value.
"I dug a hole out in the forest for a few hours and then filled it back in. I created VALUE!!!!"
