    His lifestyle is well above the average person. However his home in Seattle, the car he drives and the lifestyle he lives is a lot more modest than someone who only has a small fraction of his wealth.

    Now here is 2 things to think about when it comes to his wealth. 1. He assumed it in a little over a 20 year time span. He started the business from ground zero. There was no business or company bought out or took over. It was all an idea he had and turned it into a global giant. 2. Look at the list of the top 10 riches people in the world. At 140 Billion he could lose 1/2 and still be ranked #4

    But, if the wealth of the titans of 100 years ago or so is adjusted for inflation, he's down the list a ways.

    Sounds like you have thought about this. So what’s your price?

    Always one.

    Making it isn't the hard part, some folks have a knack for keeping it, using it to build more wealth while most will burn through it like lighting rice paper.

    Not really. I'm a bit slow at times, but not terribly slow.
    I'm absolutely sure the boss lady wouldn't offer me a choice.
    And she'd expect me to do a good job and get a repeat.

    Tampa Jim speaks the truth. That’s how it would go down in my house.

    So, I guess the two of them won't be sitting around, deciding who gets which spatula, frying pan, etc.?

    How much will Mr. Bezo be taking with Him at "passing"? So there is $137 B to split.. So an endless supply of $$$ didn't make them happy, why would anyone keep chasing it? I probably should've waited for later today, to see what the Church™ crowd would type about this, idolizing a guy just for the $$$....
