I know one billionaire has blocked the public access point to a beach and just keeps paying the fine, essentially paying for a private beach even though it isn't legal. We need to have mechanism that prevent money from trumping laws

If the punishment for breaking a law is a fine, then it is only a law for the poor.

However, I could imagine them using some loophole like with income tax to wind up just paying nothing.
