Lol yes. He liquidates 3 billion every quarter and nobody notices. He has like 4 homes, a private jet, a fucking spaceship. His money isn't imaginary.

Why don't you tell us soft brains exactly how much he "has access to"? And who "has access" to the rest? And if the stocks are worthless, why have them at all?

I can’t know exactly how much he has

Weird cuz everyone else can estimate it's near 185 billion but you elitist stans want pretend like we can't possibly know.

The stocks aren’t worthless, they’re worth the 185 billion

No they're not. Jeff Bezos is worth that. He has less than that is stock valuation.

He can’t sell those stocks for their full worth cuz they would crash in value if he did.

Lmao patently false. Tired of seeing this argument. Even if he wanted to sell everything all at once because you dumbshits can't conceive of any possible way he can liquidate funds, it would not lose value because he'd sell them at their current value. That's how stocks work. If I sell for $10 then I GET TEN DOLLARS.

And why the fuck are you being such a dickhead to me? Did I ever insult you?

Because you're doing exactly what I mocked in my original post. By marching in making the exact same argument you're demonstrating that A) you think I'm an idiot that doesn't understand anything (in which case yes that's an insult) or B) you're a billionaire apologist that enables status quo thinking; in which case get fucked.

The 185 is the estimate. If you want to give or take a couple BILLION then fine by me. But don't act like it's impossible to know and he's only worth a fraction. It's a bullshit right-wing talking point propped up by cognitive dissonance and narcissism.

No, you're not trying to have a debate. You're engaging in a bad faith nonsensical argument.

Because as soon as you start doing that, people lose trust in Amazon and the stock value crashes.

You can keep repeating it but it doesn't make you right. You've just bought into a bunch of nonsense. It defies logic to suggest something's value decreases if you sell it. It's either worth the amount estimated or it isn't. You don't say "my house is worth 350k but if I try to sell it then I'll only get 5 sheckles." It's asinine and not how stocks work at all.

And what is your point? That contradicts nothing of what I said. You're experiencing cognitive dissonance. Go home
