And so many edgy posts about he's not a trillionaire blah blah, it's just stock value blah blah blah, the headline is still true, he's outpacing every other billionaire and will probably will be the first trillionaire

That is more wealth than many nations combined.

He's already way more wealthy than anyone has the right to be, but it's still dumb to say "If nothing changes in the next *6* years, Bezos will become a trillionaire!" and act like it's imminent.

Can't we just have Jeff Bezos buy China and end the trade war?

He is wealthy because the world has benefited so much from his company, particularly right now when a robust logistics system helps people stay home.

Every transaction has two winners - the person who wanted the money more than the product, and the person who wanted the product more than the money.

but yea amazon should also treat its warehouse workers better, that part sucks

The craziest part is that it only took him a few months to make it all back.

Well I hear you but there's a pretty big difference between revolutionizing retail and getting laid off

I find the best way to help emphasize just how big a billion dollars is vs million is to put it into seconds.

One million seconds is 11 and a half days.
One billion seconds is over 31 years.
On trillion seconds is over 31 thousand years.

i don't get why people care though

ok, amazon is worth a lot of money, bezos is worth a lot of money. To be expected. Poeple use Amazon a lot, moreso now that they're told to stay home. That's what happens. Yeah yeah workers rights blah blah blah, every company does it, Amazon is not special in that regard. That's why Unions exist.

Blah blah blah he should pay everyone million dollars just for existing blah blah blah ok everyone that says that she start donating to charity more, and then you can tell other people how to spend their money

A person with a trillion dollars could only give every American $3000. Not exactly life altering. I don't know why people think he can help everyone clear mortgages and stuff. Money can go pretty quickly if you're just throwing it around.

yup, student loan debt is 1.5 trillion in america, mortgages are 13 trillion, and credit card debt another 1 trillion.

That's not to say he can't do a lot of good with his money or that tax loopholes that he uses as an individual or as CEO of amazon don't need to be fixed.
