I'm assuming that Bezos sells his stock to some private equity firms, investment bankers, etc., for cash, and that he then uses the cash to build another company with the same ratio of assets to employees. Or, more improbably, that the government seizes control of his stock, sells it to the public, and then uses the $112 B to create new jobs with the same asset per job ratio as Amazon or Ford. Of course, in this case, the $112 B would be frittered away on administrative expense, graft, corruption, etc. and no actual long-term employment would be created.
