You're conflating: effort, productivity and net worth.

Net worth is a terrible measure of anything. You have a networth 100s times a person in a developing country but you're not "100x" anything.

Jeff Bezos can invest the rewards of his lifetime effort, yes, billions of times better than you can.

Elon musk invested his paypal-productivity into making space/car/etc. companies. His actions here eclipse yours.
