A comment on Bezos donates $100M each to CNN contributor Van Jones and chef Jose Andres. Parent comment
He literally has a percentage of the company and it’s increased in value.
So he’s not paid such an astronomical salary. His salary was about $1.6M [0] as his fortune comes through his stock in founding the company.
I agree that it would be absurd to pay someone $1B, but it’s odd complaining that his assets shouldn’t appreciate in value.
