"Jeff Bezos and his wife MacKenzie are divorcing after 25 years of marriage, the Amazon CEO and Washington Post owner has announced, potentially leading to the costliest divorce settlement in history with $137 billion at stake."
The richest man in the world, currently worth about $137 billion, according to Bloomberg, made the divorce announcement on Wednesday on his Twitter.
[...]The split could lead [to] the costliest divorce is[sic] history, even if the couple doesn’t divide the money equally. There are no reports indicating the couple has a prenuptial agreement, meaning the wealth accumulated during their marriage would have to be split evenly.

Ok, what's broken about it?
Then who does and how do you decide they get to earn or control that much?

Then who does... decide...?
We do. We give them everything they have on a silver platter, for instance when we elect their servants to public office, and work for such meager compensation. We keep the peace through submission. Resistance only means extermination, unless the grunt with his finger on the trigger/button has a conscious.

Yes, people are too submissive. They need to demand more for their time. We can either organize a strong union, or do it through the vote. We will make it our business whether you like it or not... Or we won't, and will continue to cower before your authority and thank you for the crumbs you leave us, and that you haven't shot us, yet. And it is only public relations that keeps the masters you so faithfully serve from exterminating us. That's a fact jack! 5 or 6 billion would please them... If we ever actually resist, they will do it, without batting an eye.
None which actually apply to the developed world in the real world.
You think too highly of yourselves. You are savages! Your evil is deep and dark.

I think there's a hell of a lot of projection here. As I noted earlier, the developed world doesn't fit within your limited view of the world. They fixed the problems of "meager pay" and "resistance only means extermination". I notice a certain class of idiot (I include you, of course) builds up a narrative straw man to attack rather than any real world example, and then engages in a variety of rhetorical nonsense in defense. Who cares about "evil" that supposedly is deep and dark" when it's not? It's just Orwellian doublethink which downplays the societies who have mostly fixed the very problems you claimed to care about.
