I take it that the collective noun for billionaires is "plague".

@jtonline 'Cancer' maybe.

Vile concept to have millionaires let alone billionaires when half the planet are in poverty.

@etchedpixels @jtonline
I lean toward 'INFESTATION'.

@jtonline
Plagues spread - it is in their nature ; it is how they "work". It is an unavoidable part of being a plague.

Billionaires do not want other people to become billionaires. They want all that money for themselves.

@jtonline @Binder A malignancy

@clintruin @etchedpixels @jtonline With you there, except I would go further and suggest 'infection'.

@sjcooke66 @clintruin @jtonline I think if the US explodes then the collective noun is rapidly going to become "a target rich environment of billionaires"

@etchedpixels @clintruin @jtonline See where you're going with that but by the time you've said it, they might have scarpered?

@craignicol @jtonline @Binder A malignant pregnancy maybe?

Trying to think of what could possibly relate and it has to be parasitic. I'm no doctor but I've not heard of a case of an organ just deciding to suck all the life out of you. A baby will do it though.

Some sort of mutated fetus/zygote that's growing so fast the mother is going to explode long before going into labor.

@jtonline My Hi-Fi appears to be infected - any way to shake it off or is this the end game for it?

@crazyeddie @jtonline @Binder malignant usually means cancer - the system itself producing something that eats up all the resources from the inside.

It's not a foreign parasite, it's part of the system.

@jtonline I like the way you think. I myself use "hoard" because they are hoarders. Think about it. If they amassed the same amounts of anything else in the world, that's what each of them would be. Somehow we see other hoarders as mentally ill but don't see them that way.
