Stop. Protecting. Billionaires.
Stop pretending that killing them all off in your country will make them disappear or solve the root problems in your society.

Incentives, other regulation. Break up monopolies. Companies pay stupid amounts because they have that kind of money. If they are essentially forced to use money for other things, there won't be enough to keep the company black and pay the CEO stupid money.
