   Interesting numbers but they don't tell the whole story.   
      
   Should a widow living on $800 a month SS pay more so the top 1% can pay   
   less?   
      
   Should the top 1% give more of their corporate profits to workers in   
   higher wages so they can pay more taxes?   
      
   Jeff Bezos, the founder of Amazon, earns around $7.99 million per hour.   
   This is based on his net worth increasing by $70 billion in 2023, from   
   $107 billion to $177 billion. Bezos's wealth growth is largely due to   
   the value of Amazon stock, which he owns around 9% of.   
      
   How Much Does Elon Musk Make an Hour. The quick answer—Elon Musk makes   
   around $1.6 million per hour. This is based on his net worth that rose   
   by $143.9 billion in the past decade until early 2023. That's 220,690   
   times the federal minimum wage
