Wealth creation isn't zero-sum. Gates getting rich didn't make anyone else poorer. Microsoft created value that improved productivity for everyone.

Bezos is rich because Amazon stock is valuable. That reflects actual products, services, and jobs Amazon created. It's not a pile of money stolen from others.
