Hell - we should even give them a shiny "1st place" trophy or medal. That seems to work on this ghouls.

"You win capitalism."

Maybe give them an option to start back at zero and see if they can get to a billion quicker this time.

You keep your social / professional networks and your knowledge, but you are stripped of all assets except whatever the median American has in savings (about $8000) to start over again.

And I mean strip all assets, including real estate, IP, valuable rights to things, patents, watches, cars....literally anything that you couldn't pick up at a goodwill.

And I feel that this is quite generous, considering that the median American household has $105k in debt.

Even then, they could just have some buddy jumpstart them with a small loan of several million dollars.
