What Happens When Wealthy People Die
About this episode
This episode discusses the implications of billionaire deaths on wealth distribution and taxation.
This episode of RIP Corp is about what happens when billionaires die—well, what happens and doesn’t happen to their money when they die, most importantly how that money isn’t meaningfully taxed, and how their successors can perpetuate the wealth-inequality machine for generations upon generations through labyrinthine legal structures. We’ll also hear from people intimately familiar with these systems who are trying to fight them.
