The difference being you can't buy a private jet for personal use and call it a 'pokemon card expense'.

In an abstract sense the idea that you don't benefit from unrealized gains and so shouldn't have to pay taxes until they sell makes sense.  

But in reality being the billionaire owner of a multinational megacorp *does* give you most of the benefits and advantages you would get from selling everything and having the liquid cash. In fact it generally gives you *more* benefit because it comes with influence and fame and an organization of people working for you which you wouldn't easily get with just a large bank account number.

I’m not sure what your point is here. The amount one pays in taxes is a function of the money they make, not ideas like ‘influence’ or ‘power’. If your point is that a higher net worth makes it easier for someone to make more money, which is true, that money is being taxed anyway…
