Is there a flaw in the calculations?

So to say that Jeff Bezos is worth tens of billions of dollars more because of the economic success of his company, that doesn’t mean that he personally has all these billions of dollars in the bank, does it?

What I’m wondering is if they’re doing calculations based on the market value of Amazon stock. But if Bezos had to sell a ton of his stock in order to pay these billions of dollars in taxes, wouldn’t that tank the value of his stock? And then he would have nowhere near 42 billion dollars to be able to wire to the IRS the next day to pay his tax bill?

You stand accused of committing common sense.
