I'm greatly amused by the thought of a march that could not be more than 3,028 people.

I feel like the target audience is "temporarily embarrassed [billionaires]"^[1]

That is, people who are not billionaires, but like to imagine themselves as having the ability to become one.

[1] the original quote that this is from uses "millionaires" but years of the upwards flow of wealth meant the quote needed some updating.
