I’ve been thinking a lot about ultra-wealth—what it means when someone can earn more money in a year than most of us will see in a lifetime, and still have their wealth grow faster than they can spend it. On one hand, they earned it—through luck, skill, or strategy. On the other, we’ve created a world where a few people now sit above every system, every law, and maybe even time itself.

This isn’t a rant. It’s a puzzle.

What happens when wealth becomes untouchable?

What happens when markets can’t contain individuals anymore?

There’s no easy fix. But for those of us studying systems, innovation, and inequality—this is the kind of problem we have to think through. I don’t have the answer. But I think we need to ask better questions.
