Billionaire hands down. No need to think about it. No moral dilemma here.

The only stress would be making sure th trolley actually runs the billionaire over.

For added bonus, I will even dress up like the traditional villain with the cape, top hat, and th twirly mustache.

but think about all the smart innovation from those brilliant billionaire brain you'll be missing out on! And with 1.3 billion American less, that would be a lot less of trump supporters

The one benefit of the Black Plague was that decimation of workers shifted power into the hands of workers as there was fewer of them. While eliminating 1.3 billion people would massively change the power dynamics. However, 1.3 billion gone would cause major society upheaval.

Removing one billionaire allows society to continue with minimal disruption.
