I’ve had good luck with giving people a comparison to Jesus working.
Let’s say Jesus worked as a carpenter from the day of his birth to today, making $50 an hour, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year (he’s a hard working dude!), that’s 17,739,264 hours of labor. Surely he must have billions of dollars working that hard for that much money over the last 2,024 years.
Not even $887 million. Still far short of a single billion. I guarantee 99.9% of people don’t make $50/hr, and absolutely nobody works 24/7/365 for thousands of years, and if that alone doesn’t tell you that billionaires shouldn’t exist, nothing will.

Finally a use for Jesus i can get behind!
