    The answer is hard work.

    Not his own hard work, obviously, the the hard work of the workers he exploited

      Totally agree. How does the hard work become his hundreds of billions?

        amazon grows its revenue → amazon stock value increases → amazon share holder richer

        Many companies also pay dividends directly to the share holder but iirc Amazon has preferred to reinvest in growth

          The other user said it was exploited labor, what does that have to do with revenue and stock value?
