No, I'm not assuming they start with the same amount of money. I'm assuming Bezos starts with $200B or whatever his net worth is now. And that's my point - merely having that money is privilege. If you start Bezos and the Haitian immigrant off at zeros, Bezos may have some other advantages (and here's where intersectionality comes in and we can talk about all the other forms of privilege), but most people would agree that Bezos-the-pauper has nowhere near the same opportunities as Bezos-the-billionaire, and would be significantly closer to the Haitian pauper in likely outcomes.
