Its hard to pin a wealth number to someone who most of their wealth is tied up in the stock market or property. You cant really say they are worth 100 million, just because the stocks they hold today are worth 100 mil. What happens when the stock value drops, would they get a refund.

I say tax the "loans" they get when they use stocks or property as colleterial as income.
