since he deleted it, here's what this loser wrote:

250k isn't that much money. Maybe to you but to the average person it isn't.

You don't even get how billionaires are made. LOL. They didn't take the profit from anyone. Amazon doesn't give a dividend.

Their wealth is based on the value of the company which is truly arbitrary. Since people are not expecting to make money from a dividend, it's all made up.

It is why Amazon could drop in value tomorrow if people felt it wasn't going to continue to climb in value. The only way to make money is still sell the shares.

And this was supposed to be an argument for billionaires deserving their wealth?
