Jeff Bezos's net worth is almost entirely fictitious, though. It's based on how much investors think he could make if he sold Amazon. At that scale, it's more helpful to think of his power as ownership of the means of production (or in this case, specifically the means of distribution?) than it is to think of it as raw monetary wealth.

I am indebted to you for this joke.

For anyone else wondering, that would imply a net worth of -$1250.
