It’s not like cars would eventually cost negative money and they pay you to take them.
While I accept your point, I feel conditioned to interrupt here and clarify that I absolutely would download a car. There was some unexpected confusion about this, at one point.
Okay. Carry on. Thank you.
There's a delightful DC Comics Elseworlds story that amounts to this. It was fun.
Sure you harpsichord! Anyone harpsichord do it!
I don't think this is the right community for it...
That's right,

I've always liked the idea of the cap being an immediate loss of any legal property protection.
This would not be through any process, they simply instantly legally cease to have any property rights anytime they cannot prove their net worth is below the limit.
Any member of the public can reclaim any piexe of their ex-property, until the not-quite-billiomaire gets a court ruling confirming their not-a-billionaire status.
Then the not-yet-billionaires can figure out how to constantly stay comfortably below the limit.
Or...they can file an updated wealth disclosure every time they attempt to keep anyone from walking away with any piece of their former property.
If they want to avoid the inconvenience of their yachts, cars, pets, plants, fences, lamps, and television sets being repossessed, they can negotiate with their employees unions for collective ownership in good faith, instead.

Oh, shit. No way?
The bigger surprise is that they're not just walking out of banks with sacks full of other people's money with cartoon dollar signs painted on.

I dont have time to build and maintain a curated offline library like I used to.
I'm sorry for your loss. I'm sure ~~the high seas~~ legitimate DRM free music purchases will welcome you back when you have time again.
RIP Renee A. I can always hear his delivery of that final line when I read it.
That describes most of my life, under Moore's Law.
I handled it in the traditional way: I bought what I wanted, and then I immediately cussed about my shitty timing to my friends the next day.
