Jeff Bezos owns the 2nd largest newspaper in the country, and now a major movie studio. I would say he qualifies.

How has he used that newspaper to exert political control over the US?

He might not have used his newspaper, but AWS was instrumental in de-platforming Parler after the Jan 6 mutiny.

Johnny Depp would basically qualify under that definition.

According to Google his net worth is $150 million, so that is 0.1% of Bezos, and he owns 0 powerful companies to Bezos' 3. Not remotely in the same league.
