The problem isn't that they're rich so much as that increasing numbers of people live at the beck and call of the health insurance industry and that there's not even any attempt to stem the tide of homelessness. So those in need of healthcare or housing are looking at someone like Bezos who "makes hundreds of dollars a second" and calling bullshit on the system they live in - can we blame them?

Bezos makes about $2,500 per second... Within a minute he makes more than most ever make in a year ($150,000)

False. Per CBS Marketwatch " Amazon Chief Executive Jeff Bezos recorded total compensation of $1,681,840 in 2017, almost all of which is money paid for personal security — Bezos drew a salary of $81,840 and received no additional stock." which amounts to 5.3 cents per second.

You seem pretty clearly to be speaking of his networth which rises and falls with the price of AMZN shares. When friends/relatives ask 'how much do you make?' do you include unrealized gains on any investments you own?

I suppose if you choose to not take a salary you're not making anything, right?
