What can you realistically steal that isn't worth peanuts to them? You could take a car or some jewelry or maybe destroy a building, but their massive hoards are mostly in these intangible things called shares. It only exists on record and it only has value to those who are similarly greedy.

Their life, on the other hand... ๐Ÿค”

New rule, billionaires must maintain a horde of gold and jewels worth at least 100 million at all times. If it gets stolen they have to make a new one. Anyone can try to steal it, but the billionaires can set lethal traps.

I suspect the most evil rich assholes would set up explosive traps on everything shiny, so that as soon as you pull it or whatever, it blows up. To add insult to injury, you'll also have to hear a sermon about how greed is bad and evil.
