His money his choice? He just enjoys the surpluses provided to him by human labor.
One problem yet to be solved in human society is who benefits from the spoils.
Unchecked greed is often celebrated and as soon as someone criticizes it they ate slapped with the communist label

Greed is one of the easiest things to slap on a person, isn’t it? Easy to throw that around. I wonder what he was doing the first five years of Amazon’s founding. He was the entrepreneur, he deserves to get paid for it.
Everyone can perceive extravagant waste and greed, is everyone, therefore, communist? No, I don’t think so, only regular people.
reply
Not saying he doesn’t deserve to be paid but how much money does one man need?
reply
Money is fake anyway, who cares.
Perplexity :D :
Ratio Comparison
• Bezos’ wealth is more than a million times greater than the net worth of a median U.S. household.
• To put it simply: Bezos’ net worth is so high that his $500 million yacht is a much smaller fraction of his wealth than a typical car is for a median U.S. family.
• For a typical family, a $30,000 car could be 15% (or more) of their net worth.
• For Bezos, the $500 million yacht is only about 0.2% of his total net worth.
That is like asking how high is the sky! Or what’s the limit in a large poker game. I wonder if he had a limit at all.
reply
demonstrated preference. He saw more value in the yacht than in $500 million! His money, his choice. He must really value his entertainment highly!
