Because

  • Forbes doesn't even list everyone
  • There are rare cases of absurdly rich who don't deserve harsh punishment (but deserve their fortune to be taken away and fairly distributed, of course)
  • Taking info from a private company to do so would be… questionable.

There are no ethical billionaires. All of them got their wealth by exploiting people. The ones that seem like nice people still got there by causing untold harm to thousands or millions of people, and they continue to exploit people and personally benefit no matter what ideals they pay lipservice to.

Didn't say "ethical billionaire" anywhere, that's a nonsensical word combination. Just wanted to point out there are differences in what should be done with an Elon Musk, Peter Thiel or Rupert Murdoch (who use their power, time and wealth to make the whole damn world a worse place for everyone for their own gain) compared to a Gabe Newell or George Soros.
