He's a cartoon villain at this point.
"Well, henchman #37, it is important I make people suffer and I show them my power. To that end I bought up $500 million worth of single family homes. But buying the world's most expensive stuff just for me is important too. I also spent $500 million on my yacht. A bookend to show them I doubly don't care." Then he laughs evilly muhahahaha, muhahahaha, muhahahaha.
I don't even know if it's that focused on being evil. I wonder if his brain is so fucked and profit driven that he hasn't even considered how he's ruining so many young people's chances to own their own houses.
Eh nah he's probably that evil.
James Bond villains are evil and he's worse.
For comparison I picked a random year from the past - 1970. If a 1970 Bond villain said he bought a $70 million yacht - I think audiences wouldn't see him as rich and powerful - they'd laugh and complain it's a cartoon situation. Nobody - not even a Bond villain - has a 70 million dollar yacht! Yet accounting for inflation - that's what Bezos has now.
He's much more efficient than a Bond villain. They have clandestine caves on weird islands, he has a few warehouses in every state. They have a team of dopey henchmen, he has thousands of normal everyday people working so hard for him they're peeing in bottles.
