Your right. The wealth Jeff has vastly comes from his ownership of his business, of which he alone didn't make it what it is today. Many workers helped contribute and make it what it is today, but they're not anywhere as wealthy as they're weren't fairly given part ownership in the business they contributed in making...

You could argue the workers were paid a wage which they could of invested into a share of ownership in the business, but it's still unfair. There's a limited amount of stock to go around (unless the company issues more stock), existing owners stand to benefit more when this happens.

Stock behaves just like money in regards to it's store of value. Print alot of it, without making goods, and it becomes worthless and vice versa.

Therefore for fairness, ideally companies should print stock equal to the growth in their value and given to those who made the value. But lol at this pipe dream, as share prices wouldn't ever change much, so existing owners would be against it as they wouldn't benefit from it (unless they also worked in adding more value). Nevermind the difficulties in objectively attributing value...
