No.

Nobody is going to become that rich out of skill/hard work/intelligence. The level of wealth we are talking here is only obtainable via the exploitation of others.

We are not talking about a highly skilled surgeon that saves many lives earning some hundred thousands per year. There are people out there that earn millions per month.

And you're not leaving the rich people unaffected. You are taxing them. As I said, tax the businesses with huge profits, to support entrepreneurs in case their business fail, in order to have more entrepreneurs that can actually compete with the multimillion companies that do nothing but enshittify their products and underpay their workers.
