Well shit. Maybe having your entire economy built around a fossil fuel with a limited quantity, which is also rendering the planet uninhabitable, might have been a bad idea. Oh well, at least you have billionaires, and soon - a trillionaire. Makes it all worthwhile.
It would make a million people with $1 million dollars. Now let’s give them $999 million dollars. They would still be millionaires.
Sure, a bit over a thousand of them. But not a million.
I’m fine with your second suggestion though, let’s do that instead. Or let’s skip everybody with more than a million in assets and distribute to the rest.

One could chop up the trillionaire to make a few hundred tiny millionaires.
Math is fun!
It would make a million millionaires, to be precise. Or if you chopped him up fine enough, you could give everyone in the US $2,800.

Worse, you could chop him up to make a few hundred tiny billionaires or literally a million millionaires.
Reality is sad…
999 millions in your account still don’t make you a billionaire, even when you’re close. Few hundred as in a multiple of 100.
