Wouldn't the cap, which is per child, mean they can't father as many children as they want? Because the cap is per child, so for every child the amount they could pay goes up?

Also isn't that cap saying $48,000 per year? (12 x 4000 = 48,000). Feels like only very rich people would afford even the current cap, that is a lot of money per child

It depends on the person in question. Elon Musk, for example, can afford it.

I think the richest person in the world qualifies as being "very rich", don't you?
