I really shouldn't go there, but my curiosity is killing me.
Its very rare to find people in the billionaire club who havent managed profit-losing ventures with strategic bankruptcy for that entity. Most people seem to be unaware of this, since people know basically nothing about money other than what theyre told to do (be a debt slave), so it isnt surprising.
But anyone who has been in business for over a decade and studies the markets knows this. The A players dont really own" much. They control financial and business entities that they lease or rent from. Youll find most billionaires lease or rent their properties and vehicles from legal entities that they control, because of the convoluted tax laws in the US and most nations. A lot of the foreign businessmen place their assets in overseas holdings due to the confiscatory tax laws in most places.
But Bezos is someone Im still studying. I really dislike Amazons destructive trends in competing against their merchant partners, who they then buy-out after running them into the ground with price-cutting and slave labor manufacturing.
Bezos vision for the future is very dystopian and ominous. He sees people as serfs that need to be managed by people like himself, with grandiose ideas of space colonization as a result of the global environmentalist messaging (which is profoundly unscientific). Jeff Bezos Elysium vision of humanity
Relevant to the right to keep and bear arms and even free speech, Jeff Bezos is quite an enemy to both of these basic human rights, and very much in-alignment with global agendas of a prison-like world where people are managed like slaves of elites like him.
