"a moderately successful CEO"
in 2004 he was the founder, majority owner, and CEO of a company with a ~$19bn market cap. he was still firmly in the ranks of the ultra-wealthy.
- adventured 3y agoHe was among the world's richest 100 persons in 2004 to further that point.

- SilverBirch 3y agoHe was absolutely ultra wealthy. But there's a difference between ultra wealthy and being one of the wealthiest people on the planet. Jeff Bezos was on the long list of wealthy people in 2004, not the short list and it's easy to forget that the move from the long list to the short list isn't gauaranteed, and doing so doesn't require you to go out in public with extremely erect nipples.
