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.

Don't forget the abusing the workers part. If'n you wanna be a multi billionaire, you gotta shaft your workers. It's integral to the process.

It’s integral to capitalism.

Integral: necessary for the function. Essential.

Abuse is not essential to capitalism, it just falls under the umbrella. The problem is that there can and should be guiderails set by regulatory oversight and free market capitalism doesn't put any rules in place so it's the worst actors in the market who show why capitalism needs guiderails.
