I see no reason this is going to cause fewer billionaires. Doesn't that assume it's all a zero sum game? Could you elaborate..

Probably it won't but there is a small risk that some people will due to round-off errors end up just below the billionaire line of they start paying their employees a half decent wage. Or it might take some people a bit longer to get there. In the long run it is irrelevant.
