I’m not a fan of billionaires but you are fundamentally incorrect. And it is very unhelpful to be incorrect in this case because people will be able to dismiss your argument easily.

They don’t have a billion on their bank account. They own companies worth that much.

Every warehouse, truck, robot and server that Amazon owns counts towards Bezos wealth. You cannot “reinvest” all of that because the company requires it to function.
