I bet most people would pay $100 to Jeff Bezos to prevent him from selling his shares, just so that we could continue to benefit from his continued work.
If Jeff Bezos sold all of his amazon stock, bringing the share price to single digits, he could give every American a ONE TIME payment of $100. Today Bezos shares his wealth with over 750,000 people, an average salary of $60,000, and who share their wealth with others.

Amazon probably saves the average American at least $100 a YEAR by driving down prices down across the economy through competition.

"at least" being the operative word here. I would bet that it's considerably higher than that.

“Shares his wealth with 750k?” They earned their cut. He earned his too, sure, but it’s not some act of charity to hire an employee. It’s a mutually beneficial relationship.

’Share his wealth’ was a poor phrase. Should be ’divide the profits’.

Check your math. If his stock is worth $50 billion and there are 300 million Americans, everyone would get $3 trillion dollars.
