Obviously the above pie chart is a put-on. It is well-documented that working conditions for most employees of Amazon are abysmal<\/a>, dehumanizing<\/a>, bordering on abuse<\/a> we normally associate with slavery.<\/p>\n

Moreover, the median employee\u2019s salary<\/a> under Jeff Bezos\u2019 imperial lordship is $34,123 in the U.S.. No one working a regular job there has paid off their credit cards and is driving to work in a Mercedes.<\/p>\n

Jeff Bezos is referred to as The Richest Man in the World and his personal fortune, while growing by $191,000 each minute, is currently estimated at $168 billion<\/a>.<\/p>\n

So \u2026<\/p>\n

$34,123 vs. $168,000,000,000? While I can acknowledge the simple math, I find the contrast of such numbers on a gut level difficult to grasp.<\/p>\n

To get a handle on such inequality, let\u2019s try approaching it from different angles.<\/p>\n

One way to put the disparity into perspective is to recognize it takes Bezos just under 9 seconds to earn what Amazon\u2019s median worker does in an entire year.<\/p>\n

Another is to recognize that for a worker to go through Jeff Bezos\u2019 current personal fortune \u2014 and of course, it continues mounting at accelerating levels as I write this \u2014 at his\/her current median annual income of $34,123 per year, WOULD TAKE 4,923,365 YEARS! That\u2019s close to 5 million years!<\/p>\n

For Jeff Bezos himself to go through his current $168 billion, assuming his earnings stopped dead this very moment \u2014 which as you and I know they won\u2019t \u2014 SPENDING $1,000,000 A DAY, would take NEARLY 460…<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
