Abstract

We show that the Brill-Lindquist initial data provides a counterexample to a Riemannian Penrose inequality with charge conjectured by G. Gibbons. The observation illustrates a sub-additive characteristic of the area radii for the individual connected components of an outermost horizon as a lower bound of the ADM mass.
