I was wondering that too. In addition, money is only valuable when it is moving around, and can increase in worth (at least temporarily) with some smart (or not so smart) investments and book-keeping. That's why the whole world is suddenly much poorer while we still have the same amount of cash and currency.
A better way to imagine redistributed wealth would be to give everyone the global average salary. Probably no more than a pound a day, I'm thinking.
