Okay so then how is he worth that much?

These memes and stories are like, "its unbelievable that Bezos is worth so much money", no it makes perfect sense!

Having listened to 'good bad billionaire' for several episodes the formula is

  1. Create or inherit a company
  2. Do good at it
  3. Float it on the stock exchange
  4. Now own the bulk of a company whose stock values it at enough that your share is worth over a billion

Or

  1. Make an insanely popular game
  2. Sell it to Microsoft

Or

  1. Be the child of someone who did one of the above
