But in a practical sense, I also don't think the next generation of Bezo's are going to be anything but obscenely wealthy. And the generation after that. And after that.
While the hereditary title was a bad idea, they also had turnover too.
Yes, Bezos’ kids will be wealthy and even in 500 years they will be wealthy (look at J&J, Rockefeller, Canegie, etc) but that’s still better than the earldoms and such in the UK where there’s still massive chunks of land centuries later controlled only because of birth. Turnover was based on royal decree, not bankruptcy/ legal transfer/etc
So not saying trillionaires are perfect, just that they have fewer flaws than aristocracy.

So I think it is much of a muchness.
