    Owning 1.3T of anything is a hoard by definition. I would be surprised if anyone at any time in history has ever owned a trillion of anything

      So no one is own to own a company? Because that is all his wealth. It’s stock shares.

            Genuinely asking what’s the difference?

            Like sure liquid $1T would be insane for one person to have, but a $1T company is equally as insane

              It’s not as insane because there is a significant difference between liquid and illiquid assets in how these can affect the world. However, regardless of how it compares, people owning more than a billion is one more sign our global economic system is very broken (and trillion even more so).
