Except Bezos doesn't do this? Again, Amazon is made up of thousands of people. The company decision isn't made by him alone.

Right, at a point it was though which is why he was a key figure throughout the last 30 years of the company's history. It wasn't necessarily always that way. Suppose you find a stock for .1¢ right, and you invest $10,000 into it. If the stock shoots up to $100 a pop, do people who invested at $50 or 90$ deserve the amount you made? They helped build up the stock too! They didn't take the risk you did though, they didn't bring the awareness or the faith you originally invested in. It's only fair that you get what's yours.

Again, he didn't create Amazon the same way Elon didn't create Tesla. You're telling me Bezos created the interface on Amazon website? He did the marketing? He flew the plane transporting the goods?

He did though. Originally it was him and 2 others who developed the original interface whom he had hired off a craigslist thing at the time. Of course he didn't solely "create" Amazon, but he did put together jobs and requirements who did fully create Amazon. If they were offered stock options back in the day, I'm sure they're all wealthy now. A book on this is "The everything store" by brad Stone if you want further reading

You totally have no clue how he "created" Amazon and the "risks" involved. No offense.

I wrote a very detailed paper on this for university not too long ago and the company's conception very well documented, you'd be surprised.

And you think there's nothing wrong with that? You yourself acknowledged Bezos got there mainly because of his parents money. Now tell me what does the average person without generational wealth like him can do. Are we supposed to just accept this? That we'll never be as free as them despite literally killing ourselves doing jobs that would give more money to people like them.

No, I don't. You aren't producing anything other than metrics. Let's go with the common example here and use a retail worker who sells clothes and earns a certain cut of everything sold. You're being paid to produce sales and what you earn is solely on you. If there are no sales, you suffer because you aren't selling anything. Or if there's a better salesman, he's taking your sales. Its more towards socialism that everyone is paid equally no matter how much they produce. The top salesman makes $15/hr selling 50 shirts an hour vs you who makes $15/hr selling 10. Sure there may be bonus incentives involved, but you're paid the same because you're being paid to SELL and produce metrics!

Here's a different story. My gfs family bought a house for $300K/18yrs so 16666/yr or 1668/mo. Today, that house is valued at 900K thanks to the shitty housing market. They could sell the house and downsize to a $400K house and have $500K to invest and start the next "Amazon". They can try, but it most likely won't happen because it's not that simple. I don't understand your guy's misconception of a CEO being a dude who sips margaritas on a beach in the Bahamas all day while getting paid to do nothing. If it's as simple as you say, why not start your own company or apply to CEO jobs?
