I did the math: There’s an estimated 2,781 billionaires on the planet. If they are an average of six feet tall (generous) the stack of them would span 16,686 feet of the Mariana Trench’s 35,814 feet. Leaving 19,128 feet, or room for about 3,188 millionaires.

But everyone is forgetting the chain and cinder blocks they take up room too. Lets face it those Billionaires and Millionaires won't go to the bottom willingly.

Balancing them seems problematic. We could get more if we lie them down and start making pyramids with them

Although I believe it would be more comical to march them up to the death zone on Everest so they are permanently preserved as an eternal warning.

If the average billionaire has $2 billion, and there were 2781 billionaires: That's 2x2781 billion dollars ÷ by $100 bills, ÷ 0.0043in (US bill thickness) ÷ 12 in ÷ 5280 ft = .. if 2781 billionaires stacked their net worth in $100 bills it would be 3775 *miles* high. Comm satellites orbit at 250mi

After the pressure, though, they’re all much smaller, leaving even more room, for anyone concerned about packing logistics.

You, generously, stacked them on one another’s shoulders. I say, go horizontal & throw in the lawyers, accountants & heirs.

Did you factor in the crushing pressures of extreme depths on the billionaire body, as recently demonstrated?
