But his parents weren't super rich billionaires, were they? No one had a hundred billion dollars before, he didnt get it all from his parents, where did he get it all?
Amazon has been really successful in several domains and he's owned a lot of it from the start
How does owning something turn into hundreds of billions of dollars? I own things too, they don't turn into hundreds of billions
Your things didn't increase in perceived value as much as Amazon then
Is that how value is determined? How others perceive value? Isn't that kind of subjective? Is there a possibility he isn't worth that much money? Could he be worth even more? Not like margin of error, but dramatically more or less like 20-30% off one way or the other?
The value is tecknically the effect of what is called a stock market, and it does vary quite a bit over time as perceptions and economic factors change
You lost me. Sounds like made up crap
