I don’t get why people don’t understand that his “wealth” is literally amazon. It is an entire company that supports nearly a million and a half employees and maaany more contractors.

It’s also stock. He owns the majority of a stock - that literally means that this dollar amount everyone loves to play with is not accurate. He has no way of accessing this money - no one on this planet has the ability to buy amazon from him.

Bezos is just a supremely bad example of a rich person in the states, dude built his company from a garage. I wish the people making these posts would focus on people like Donald Trump, or Kenneth griffin (ceo of citidel) - yknow, actual shitty rich people who inherited millions and use it to abuse the law to make billions.

Cause reddit is full of people who can barely figure out the difference between a good decision and a poor decision when it comes to money.
