Thanks for the clarification. Part of my thinking assumes Bezos himself counts as an Amazon employee so all by himself he heavily affects the difference between average and median employee (he might be the only billionaire employee, Andy Jassy is presumably one of the wealthiest employees and he's below $500m). Since Bezos is also a shareholder (I assume the largest individual shareholder), he also distorts that average. However, since I assume there are orders of magnitude more shareholders (through their stake in pension and retirement funds) than working for Amazon, all those additional data points smooths the difference out more.
