But first make sure their will & estate stipulates that their wealth will be evenly distributed among every deserving needful hardworking person on the planet, right?
No need. If they have heirs, the wealth will be split. If the resulting heirs still have enough to be billionaires apply the solution recursively. Eventually it will be diluted enough that nobody is a billionaire.
If there are no heirs it usually goes to the state (depending on jurisdiction).

Why? Just imply sending another hitman! I think the billionaires would find themselves feeling very altruistic eventually.
