How are we defining production? They say Bezos makes $215M per day. Does he personally produce $215M in 'value' per day? Or do his employees contribute to it?

The workers can generate ideas which would net amazon tremendous amount of wealth from which only a fraction would go back to those who generated the ideas / implemented it. It really is a case of winner take all market. Bill Gates has been retired for a while yet he can't help but keep getting richer. This is not even mentioning those who inherited vast amounts of wealth (like the waltons) and who continue to get super rich even though i doubt they do anything personally that contributes value.
