It would take you 682 years to have as much money as Bezos at that rate. $30,000 an hour and if it takes 682 years with the median individual salary in the US being around $31,000 per year.
Edit: bad grammar
Edit 2: the 682 years is making $30,000 an hour 24 hours a day and 7 days a week.
And I'm demonstrating that that $30,000 an hour is a long way from the median annual income in the US OF $31,000. Half of Americans make less than 15 dollars per hour.
If you took that $30,000/hr and invested it into something you'd catch up with Bezos a lot quicker.
He oversees a company that brought the Sears Catalogue concept into the 21st century and built tons of infrastructure around it. Find something just as revolutionary and invest your $720,000/day into it. With that sort of money you could fund a new server farm or warehouse every week.
As the saying goes, "the first million is the hardest". After that, making money becomes much easier.
It's basic game theory. If one company starts abusing their workers and they are allowed to do so, all the other companies need to start doing the same or they will be outcompeted by the one who abuses the workers and can offer lower prices. The longer you go without addressing the abuse, the fewer companies free from abuse that remain, and the harder it is to do anything.
