So, question: when the billionaire dies, does their wealth transfer according to local laws? So an entire lineage could instantly turn inside out, including bastard children on the fringes of inheritance, with only an estate tax to save them?

Logically since all billionaires die, their lineage would be gradually wiped out.

Where it gets tricky is how they would manage the money. If the money is not directly controlled by them, are they billionaires? So does the CFO of a multi billion dollar company also get turned inside out?

It would be a heck of a monkey paw without stipulations that would make the point worthless.
