It absolutely doesn't make sense to charge a tax of real/actual money on a value that's theoretical.
It's irrational to assume "cheating the system to grossely [sic] exagerate [sic] the value of their companies" of every entity valued at more than an arbitrary $X.
For example, Costco is a company worth hundreds of billions of dollars, and yet it's famous for how generous it is both to its customers and to its workforce. Its founder left the company a billionaire himself.
"The stuff you own is now too valuable, so we get to steal it from you."
No.
