1. Obscene amounts of wealth like what we see from Jeff Bezos and Elon Musk has to come from somewhere. The billions of dollars they have is billions of dollars in value extracted from the working class. Capitalism is a zero-sum game, after all.

2. Wealth leads to socioeconomic power when there isn't a strong enough government to counterbalance it. Billionaires like Jeff Bezos have an obscene amount of power when it comes to shaping the global landscape and as Kanye West said, no one man should have all that power.
To me it's more that it's unavoidable to have a .01% I'm society's history they've always existed. Not always through money but maybe through royal heritage or government power and position.

So one person having all that power doesn't bother me much because it's not something I can change and I've always focused on making the improvements I can in my life to be in a situation I'm happy in.
