Bezos has a net worth of $236.3 billion. Giving every American $100 would only cost $34.2 billion, leaving $202.1 billion. This is equivalent to shedding 15% of his wealth, yet he remains the fourth richest person in the world.
If you are a little more generous, giving each person $500 is not a problem; after spending 171 billion, there is still 65.3 billion left. Compare this to an average person: he earns $3,715 per second, while a full-time employee in the U.S. earns only $1,194 per week—which means that what Bezos earns in less than a second is what an average person has to work an entire week for.
He spent 237 million on 3 houses bought in Miami, equivalent to 538 houses at the average price in the U.S. The wedding in June cost between 47 to 56 million, while the average wedding cost in the U.S. is only 33,000. The wealth gap is clear at a glance.
