"It's their products."
Amazon as we know it today wasn't made by Bezos, but by the thousands of people that work for him.
It's their company, not his. If anyone has a right to Bezos' billions it's them.
He, of course, deserves a nominal fee... maybe on par with the lowest-paid worker at Amazon.
- Workaccount2 4y agoLegally, no. The company belongs to investors and the workers signed a contractual agreement with those investors. Any single one of those workers could have spun off and sold their value to any other buyer willing to pay the price they(the worker) wanted. Most don't do this though because they are willing to take a lower pay in order to (greatly) mitigate risk. Also, as you might be surprised to learn, workers already keep the majority of value they produce. Quick example: Gold mine owner lets workers keep 90% of everything they mine. Gold mine owner doesn't mine at all, but is by far the wealthiest person in the operation.
