Unlike royalty the transfer of wealth isn't instant so if you work fast enough you can achieve a brief window when there are no billionaires.
Wealthy people likely have a living trust and the next trustee picks up immediately without needing time-consuming procedures like probate.
People might be reluctant to assume possession of billions if people were murdering/ systematically killing billionaires. So, it might be achieved relatively quickly.
Sure you can have the infinite money stone. All you have to do is make it past everyone who will suffer to power it, there’s a lot more of them than you and they are hungry
I get the impression a brief window isn't the goal, but in this thread rationalization might be.
