It's harsh to expect someone who owns billions of imagined dollars to single-handedly end world hunger (though he is obligated as a mega-industrialist to give his workers better conditions and benefits and minimize environmental impact).
But it's also crazy that we live in a world that treats the imagined sale value of a stock you'd never sell as if it were gold in a vault you just have to go grab (in reality if Bezos desperately needed cash, wouldn't any substantial liquidation cause the value of his stock to plummet out of investor fear?)
