Does a billionaire who became billionair by marrying a person who became a billionaire also bears the responsibility of hoarding because they choose to marry that person and not divorce early?

What would be the adverse consequences of wealth-taxing someone who didn't actively choose to be wealthy? They would have a mere 500 million left, which they didn't want anyway?

No, not morally. If she divorces, she should also be subject to that proposed the wealth tax, which she won't mind because according to your frame she didn't choose to hoard.
