Assuming you could wave a magic wand and convert their net worth straight into cash 1:1 (you can't), you couldn't even do the last thing on that list, much less all the others:
Assuming in the US, using 2023 figures:
Too many people have been deluded into believing that 'the billionaires' are capable of easily solving all societal ills if only they gave away their wealth, and aren't they such assholes for keeping their wealth and not solving them?
Most people are not nearly aware of the actual costs of these things.
Contrary to the other commenter, I AM trying to say you're wrong. Universal healthcare is very much possible, see every actually developed country! They even managed to do it without the molten lead thing, though I'm sure it would help.
and a lot of developing countries, Algeria which had a literacy rate of 3% had universal healthcare in the 70s, 10 years of not being a settler colony
Libya too before 2011 (except the literacy rate was recorded to be 89 to 99% at one point)!
not to mention the fact that that the "developed" countries depend heavily on the exploitation of the Global South to provide free/universal healthcare, yes European reader reading this, this includes Finland and no Poland isn't excluded either.
the Europeans literally destroyed Libya
of course they did, anything so much as hints at providing welfare services that isn't born out of imperialism is a threat to their imperialism... so they needed to make an example out of Libyans by turning it into a sex slave trading hub.
