> Why is his total wealth an absolute necessity to look at

Because money needs to move. Having it sit somewhere in a bank account is not something you want to encourage (as a government).

That kind of wealth is never just cash in an account. It's spread across thousands of assets and investments.

For example, they are often LPs that invest in VC funds to give them cash which is then given to startups to build a business.

His wealth doesn't sit in a bank account, it's invested in his companies.
