The issue here is the genericity if money. I think hardly anyone would argue that he shouldn't make decisions for Amazon. He is probably the best individual for this. The issue is that controlling Amazon also comes with the possibility of getting out of it and somehow be allowed to control vast amount of resources completely independent of it and possibly built decades or even centuries before Amazon even existed.
- PaulDavisThe1st 3y agoOne of Bezos' best attributes was (is? no idea) knowing that he was not the best individual to make most of the decisions for Amazon. He had strong ideas about how to hire people, how to create "meta-strategies" and then let the people who he believed actually knew stuff make the choices. So actually, even within Amazon, he almost certainly was not the best person to make almost any of the decisions the company faced. You final sentence is precisely on point, IMO.
