Does anyone else see this as a scary evidence that technology is accelerating the consolidation of money to the few that succeed? How long did it take historical figures to reach this level of wealth vs Bezos in the last ~20 years? This should be a huge warning sign to nearly everyone, instead of celebrated.

Of all the aspects and effects of Amazon's style of business that I find troubling, Bezos' money is the least of them.

No not at all. In my opinion Capitalism is working just as intended -- we have newer families (Gates, Bezos, Zucks etc) that are now dominating the older ones (Carnegies, Rockefellers, Waltons). This is all in a span of less than 100 years.
