Bezos is wealthy simply because he owns a large chunk of Amazon. Because he started the company. He's only a billionaire because literally everyone in the world is willing to pay him a substantial piece of money for a tiny piece of the company. How is that Jeff's problem? The world could make Jeff not a billionaire in a moment by merely saying "none of us want a piece of Amazon".

At what point was Jeff supposed to give away his ownership of Amazon? Who should he have given it to? Would they then get to run the company, would Jeff keep running it?
