you would have to make many changes to society to change the process that causes wealth to accumulate. there's no way these people would agree to a one time event (or structural changes for that matter as it goes completely against their interests), so you'd clearly have to make it a structural change for it to happen at all. these changes would have to account for R&D and other roles that the ultra-wealthy take upon themselves to select arbitrarily. theoretically such a system has the potential to be far more egalitarian than our stratified modern society.
