Time to roll out the Andrew Marr quote again...

[ID: Reply from elumind that says: “Do the richest one every week and see next in line lose their shit and try to get rid of the money. I think of this almost daily.” /end ID.]

The first one stands up and draws a massive A on the nearest wall before dropping dead. 

Like most of us I’ve thought extensively on this since I first saw Death Note and came to the conclusion that the most likely reaction would be people creating more byzantine ways of keeping hold of their resources while not technically counting them as personal resources and not technically being so rich. With enough shell companies, fake charities, and resources stashed in secret or illegal places or the bank accounts of relatives, people could keep most of what they have while dropping right off any list of wealthiest people. The wealthy are often experts at this for tax fraud reasons. Light’s response, of course, would be to start taking these things into account, seeking out hackers and accountants and various other experts to keep track of the actual wealthiest, and the wealthy (many of whom would be willing to risk their lives to stay that way) would use the dying as a metric for what the mysterious killer was using to score wealth and try to find ever more secret methods of resource hoarding. An accountancy arms race would be underway.

Light wouldn’t necessarily need to seek anyone out. By the time ‘NEEDLE’ drops there’d be dozens, if not hundreds of lists of potential candidates floating around online. Megacorporations have CEOs. Village-sized estates have listed owners. And every mega-rich person trying to hide their wealth has MULTIPLE accountants who know what they’re doing, any one of whom could anonymously snitch on some message board just to a) watch the show, and b) sieze the opportunity to embezzle a small percentage of the hoarded goodies. We all know that thousands of hackers, activists, and nosy amateurs would be playing ‘pin the target on the rich douchebag’ purely on a volunteer basis.
