Bezos has to quintuple his net worth, that other guy just needs to triple his (more or less), so I'm going with followers.

I would go with the cash, as unless someone is seriously gaming the system about 1 in 8 human beings on the planet would have to create an account and follow the celebrity for them to get 1 billion followers assuming only real accounts counted.

Even a twitter verified Jesus Christ, son of the one true God would have a somewhat difficult time drumming up 1 billion twitter followers, and he has at least that many followers in real life.

I look at it as market size though. Instagram has a billion active monthly users and it's probably peaked now that they're declaring war on TikTok.

On the other hand, Amazon is only in a few countries so they have plenty of room to grow or acquire.

On the other hand, if we keep inflating the currency the way we have been in recent years (2008 onwards), Bezos could be worth $1T just by the dollar having less value.
