I don’t see how earning large amounts of money makes someone evil. I don’t think there is a logical connection between evil and wealth. That’s why I ignored that number. As I said, the only thing you need to do is to prove they actually exploited workers. That’s it.
They accumulated wealth because they invested in companies that grew to become multi-billion dollar companies. This happened because they had a clever idea or solved a real issue. These are companies located in many countries, how is 2M monthly too much for services/products used worldwide?
Do I like the fact billionaires exist? No. I’d prefer a world with a better wealth distribution. Do I think they are evil because the system allowed them to get to that point? No.
Oh, so you’re saying wealth should be equally distributed with workers. That argument is silly… Workers should get paid fairly for their skillset. The US is obviously exploiting people, $7/h is ridiculous… But a package delivery person demanding to become a millionaire because they work for a multi-billion dollar company? What’s their skillset? Driving a car and walking with a box on their hands?
Workers should never be exploited, people should get paid a fair amount of money so they can have a good living. The Amazon workers are definetely not getting paid fairly and are physically and mentally abused. But Bezos didn’t become a billionaire BECAUSE he exploits people, that’s just him being an asshole in general. He would have still been a billionaire if he had paid fair wages and had had happy workers.
So you have package delivery teams, marketing, financial analysts, software developers, data analysists, lawyers… Should all of them get paid equally?
Should a neurosurgeon working in a small hospital earn less money than a delivery person working in a multi-billion company? THAT seems unfair.

I did but you refused to see.
Does Jeff Bezos travel around the whole world distributing packages? He doesn’t, the workers do.
