Interesting point. Some thoughts:
- she decides how the money is allocated. Is she the best person to do this?
- did she "earn" this money?
- would it not have been better if the Amazon employees to be better paid in the first place and Mr & Mrs Bezos to have less billions?
Don't forget, the system is a closed(ish) one. If some have disproportionately more, a great many will have less. Having less when you struggle to make ends meet means a more for them than a billionaire having less billions.
