How do you figure?

According to [1], Amazon had just shy of 1.3 million employees at the end of 2020.

If by "a few billions," you meant something like $5 billion, that's only $3,846 per employee.

So, roughly a 2 dollar/hour raise? Sounds pretty significant to me.
For one year.
Yes, add to it that when Bezos start selling shares - because he does not have it in cash burried underground or mansions like Escobar - it will turn out it is not billions people think about it will be a lot lot less.
