It would be virtually impossible for even spending in the billions to impact the actual life quality of the richest men on earth, so you effectively have to assume they are just *that* ideologically committed to their personal wealth and the power it brings.https://twitter.com/NatStClair/status/1240293174762860544 …
So, while it is absolutely true that Bezos should step up, like most billionaires, he doesn't have his cash liquid. The largest portion of his wealth is in Amazon stock, which sure, he could sell - but the value it provides to him is control over Amazon itself.

That stock is how he gets to continue to direct the course of the company he founded. He could liquefy his other assets of course (though it seems relevant to note that now is **not** the time, financially, to be doing that).

Right now, the market is tanking because there are a lot of assets - including Bezos' assets - which have more sellers than buyers. If Bezos suddenly pulled his stakes out, that would in turn pull liquidity out from other businesses which need it...

Of course it is the case that he doesn't have nearly $110 billion in liquid. Am I supposed to believe that what liquid he *can* readily access is negligible? Bloomberg was prepared to spend into the billions on a vanity presidential campaign and has half Bezos's net worth.

That I don't know. My guess, reasoning from the admittedly smaller fortunes I know something about, is that what he has in cash at any given moment is actually probably 'small' (millions, not billions) and he functions on cash-flow, rather than reserves.
