# Even if he's personally so wealthy that he would buy the same number...

Even if he's personally so wealthy that he would buy the same number of avocados at $99/avocado, almost one would else would do so.  International avocado trade would drop to almost zero, and the tariff would raise almost no money.  High tariffs ==  no trade == no tariff income == can't replace the income tax.
