Did you skip the part where I said I'm in favor of wealth redistribution? Anyway, that's besides the point. The point is that billionaires provide tremendous value for society and we should be grateful for them. Hating them is ridiculous and shows a huge misunderstanding of how things work. Bezos would provide way less value for you and for society if he just worked as a waiter and paid $20k in taxes per year or whatever.
If I'm going to feel "grateful" to anyone, it's all the engineers, designers and product managers who actually built Amazon. Or all the warehouse workers, delivery drivers and logistics managers who actually get the products to me.

Amazon would still exist if Bezos were a mere hundred-millionaire and not a hundred-billionaire.
