I don't think you grasp the amount of wealth we are talking about. It's not assets you can "seize". It's far more than that.

These families are older than the USA, older than most of the governments in Europe. We're talking families that were around since the gilded age, controlling banking and other assets that formed nations.

One family may not have the wealth to out spend the USA, they definitely can outbid 90% of the nations on Earth, and they are international.
