> So none of the profits that Amazon has been making have been going towards Jeff Bezos pocket to make him richer.

For this to be true, Amazon's profits would have to have no effect on its share price.

The comments in this subthread are talking about CEO salary. The point being, Bezos isn't rich because of his salary, he's rich because he owns shares, so adjusting his compensation isn't going to make a meaningful impact to the prosperity of Amazon employees. (Managing to effectively tax the corporation might though...)
