Yes, pretty much, although a cap could be high, of say, a billion dollar or 10 billion, which would effectively enable the lucky dude to enjoy every possible personal treat as well as any new business endeavor.
Looks like billionaire dudes adhering to a "Giving Pledge" at least declare thinking along the same lines.
Maybe similar to corporations when they reach a monopolistic standing, theoretically antitrust should take care of their fragmentation (rarely happens), we as a society are interested in those extra funds, stashed away, being circulated to where they are needed.
Plus, new generations coming to a moneymaking game, which runs for centuries, late, should have a reasonable vista.
A periodic partial reshuffle makes a lot of sense to me.
