Is this supposed to be an achievement of some kind? Pretty sure there are many empresses/queens/czarinas etc that have inherited as much if not more
Maybe adjusted for inflation, maybe…. but I seriously doubt it, 100 billion is an astronomically high amount.
Even $100 billion is nothing compared to the power that comes from controlling a nation state. Just in real estate terms, $100 billion is enough to maybe buy a really small city if no one noticed what you are doing. To control a whole country of land, people, and wealth is incomparable to anything achievable in capitalism.
