Imagine a bunch of guys start looking for oil. One guy is first to find a massive oil field because he started looking first, he's luckier, smarter and harder-working than others. If this guy wasn't born, the society wouldn't be worse off by much, the oil would still be found, but maybe few months later.

That's the type of Jeff Bezos' wealth, it's mostly "discovered" rather than earned.
