      Yeah exactly. Normal inheritance means their kids or spouse inherit, and the number of billionaires remains the same.

        Fun fact, if I were to inherit the wealth of a billionaire family member who was shot in public I’d get philanthropic real fast!

    I haven’t actually done the math, but by percentages I think they are probably fairly close.

        In total, you’d only need four numbers:

        • The total number of school aged children
        • The number of school aged children who died due to violent crime
        • The total number of billionaires
        • The total number of billionaires who died due to violent crime

          Rate could mean over time or percentage of. I think OP was thinking of time, in which case your wouldn’t need the total number of schoolchildren. Just divide the population of billionaires by the number of schoolchildren that die by violent crime per year.
