Jeff Bezos, former CEO the amazon, one of the richest people in the world. Currently, his fortune is worth $180 billion. Of this ridiculous amount, only $70 billion was generated in 2023, and that’s thanks to Amazon’s position within it. To put this statistic into context, A Mexican would have to live 44 lives to be able to equal that portion of wealth.
In 2023, Bezos generated $191 million dollars per day, or $7.9 million dollars per hour, or $136 million pesos per 60 minutes, an amount that few people will see in their lifetime. In 13 minutes, This tycoon makes more money in a lifetime than the average person in the United States. This perspective becomes even more depressing when we consider that the average Mexican will never receive this money in their lifetime.
According to data from the Ministry of Economy, the average salary in Mexico is $5,600 pesos. Over a 47-year career, from age 18 to 65, a Mexican can earn $3.1 million pesos. This is what it means It takes 44 lifetimes to achieve what the founder of Amazon achieves in one hourAnd one must live regardless of the cost.
It’s important to note that Bezos’ wealth doesn’t come from hard work, it comes from work. Over the past few years, Amazon’s stock market value has increased a lot And, as a result, the former CEO and the rest of the company’s managers have been able to earn huge sums of money without increasing their salaries. On a related note, ads come to Amazon Prime Video. Similarly, Amazon has been sued over The Lord of the Rings.
Editor’s note:
It is very disappointing. While it’s true that something like Amazon isn’t easy to build and maintain, the amount of money a single person makes is ridiculous. As they say, you gotta eat the rich.
