While you may be completely right about Amazon and tax lobbying, this is only a part of the story of how he's so rich. Parent comment was right in the way that matters, IMO: Jeff Bezos being rich is mostly not at the expense of anyone else, quite the opposite - it's as a result of the value he's created. Even if he's paid less in taxes than he "should have", those taxes would've been 0 if he hadn't created the value and therefore wealth that he's created.
