This is fun to watch, in the time it took to look at another article, the number that appeared was double what I make in a year.

If I had to bet, I'd say Bezos's wealth won't increase today. Amazon is -2.35% in pre-market right now. He will instead probably lose more than any of us has ever made.

I get the idea of the counter but it gives a little too simplified view. There's still risk involved even with Amazon.

I think your talking about his share holding. His compensation when that is excluded is still fairly high, (when all the perks are included).

Oh I agree, the counter is a nice novelty toy but I know its not realistic. I'm comfortable with what I make and what I invest in, at some point there is such a thing as too much money for a single person (not a social statement, just a statement about my situation).

Risk of not being able to afford food, rent, or (in the US) healthcare, for the average person: High

Risk for Bezos: None

I'd be willing to take way bigger risks with $100B to my name.

Bezos did not have $100B in his name when he took the risk of founding Amazon.
