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.
Not saying he doesn’t deserve to be paid but how much money does one man need?

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.
