    Bezos is the CEO of Amazon, he can definitely take some of the credit/blame that it’s worth so much and that he has such a large stake. He could cash out at any point, but he chooses not to, aka hoarding.

      … what exactly do you think would happen to Amazon’s stock value if Bezos cashed out?

      And how exactly is owning a company “hoarding”

        It would drop a bit, depending on how he handled the PR. Anyway, then he could donate 99.99% of his wealth and still have far more than any of us will ever have in our lives. But he doesn’t, because he’s hoarding it.
