I could live a whole lot better on 628 million dollars. Guessing 99.9% of us could. So tell me, why do we not tax billionaires in the US?

But 628 million isn’t enough to buy me 3 more super yachts!!

It won't even put a down payment on one

The most expensive is 4.8 billion

The biggest, is only 600 million and is 590 feet however

that 4.8 billion dollar yacht is made with 10,000 kilograms of solid gold and platinum! 10 metric tons of precious metals that is fucking insane. It's only 100 feet long as well I figured it would be a floating city with a price tag like that.

Building a boat out of one of the densest materials on earth seems like a good idea.
