Let's say I had as much money as Jeff Bezos or Bill Gates. I would have so much money that I would be able to create jobs just for the sake of providing people with a livelihood and a nice place to work. I could find two very impoverished towns, one in Kenya, and another in Cambodia. I could say "I'm going to build a big massive factory in both of these towns, and employ 15,000 people in each factory". If I paid US$16,500.00 per year to 30 thousand people, then it would set me back half a million dollars per year. That's pocket change for folks like Zuckerberg and Musk.
