Regardless of the possibility that Pritzker’s a good 'un who somehow slipped through the net, we should still have a policy that causes existing billionaire to not be billionaires anymore, and to prevent the emergence of new billionaires.
If that were to happen, Pritzker would still be a good 'un (if he really is) but inequality would have been reduced a little.
If we don’t snip off that long tail, democracy won’t have a chance to recover.
In my opinion, it does not. He could choose to spend every penny he has on making life better for folks until he’s as poor as the rest of us. Instead he chooses to get richer.
