> Jeff Bezos improved global quality of life EXACTLY the amount he's been paid. Otherwise, why would anybody volunteer their money his way?

That's just the repetition a rather circular dogma: the market is assumed to be right (typically demonstrated by some oversimplified textbook example), so right is whatever our market does.

If you want to use Bezos's wealth to justify the value he's created, you should at least try to make an independent estimation of that value.

I don't agree with that assessment, but you also didn't address inheritance.
