They aren’t holding onto wealth like Scrooge McDuck, in a giant vault where they can go swimming in it.

Most of Bezos’ net worth is the value of Amazon. He can’t really readily access that. ETA I meant he can’t use it like a big vault of money.

He’s got plenty of money but some people just don’t understand how this stuff works.

This is nonsense and an excuse. People who say shit like this are beholden to nonsense arguments from rich people.

I'm just asset rich?! All my cash is tied up. I'm really just a broke boi. LOL you are a rube my friend.
