Jeff Bezos is worth over $100 billion after Amazon's Black Friday rally

亚马逊的黑色星期五结束后，杰夫·贝佐斯的身价超过1000亿美元



Amazon founder and CEO Jeff Bezos now has a 12-digit fortune, according to an estimate by Bloomberg.

根据彭博社的估计，亚马逊创始人兼首席执行官杰夫·贝佐斯目前拥有多达12位数的财富。

Bezos's net worth surpassed $100 billion on Friday, Bloomberg reported. Amazon shares hit a record on Black Friday — one of the year's busiest shopping days— joining a broader stock market rally.

彭博社报道称，贝佐斯的净财富在周五超过了1000亿美元。亚马逊的股价在黑色星期五这一一年中最繁忙的购物节之一创下新高，这也成为了更大范围内股市反弹的一部分。

Bezos, the world's richest man, owns about 78.9 million shares of Amazon, according to a Nov. 14 filing. That stake alone is worth more than $93.5 billion as of Friday's closing price of $1,186 a share.

据11月14日的一份文件显示，全球首富贝佐斯拥有约7890万股亚马逊股票。截至上周五，该股的收盘价为每股1,186美元，总价值超过9350亿美元。

Amazon is not his only business venture. Bezos also invests in start-ups, and owns The Washington Post and space company Blue Origin. These companies can be difficult to value, but Forbes still puts Bezos's fortune at $99.6 billion.

亚马逊并不是他唯一的创业项目。贝佐斯还投资初创企业，并拥有华盛顿邮报和太空公司蓝色起源。这些公司的价值可能很难估计，但福布斯仍然认为贝佐斯的财富达到了996亿美元。

Bezos is followed on the list of wealthiest people by Bill Gates and Warren Buffett. They've both already allocated significant chunks of their fortunes to philanthropy, a goal that Bezos is also exploring.

在这份富豪榜上，紧随贝佐斯之后的是比尔盖茨和沃伦巴菲特。他们已经将大量的财富投入到了慈善事业当中，这也是贝佐斯在追求的一个目标。

You know, after the first $2 or 3 Billion, the rest doesn't make that much of a difference.

你知道的，在最初的20亿或30亿美元之后，剩下的钱就没那么大的差别了。

it does if you give it away

如果你放弃了这些钱，那就有差别了

He'd have to sell off his shares to do that and lose control of the company.

他必须卖掉自己的股份才能拿到这些钱，这样做他会失去对公司的控制权。

He only owns 17% of the company as it is.

他只拥有公司17%的股份。

Jeff Bezos literally can't sell his Amazon shares fast enough for him to ever actually see his net worth decrease. Even selling $1 billion of Amazon stock yearly (to fund his private rocket venture) makes no dent whatsoever.

杰夫·贝佐斯确实不能迅速卖掉他的亚马逊股票，这样做会让他看到自己的净资产在不断减少。不过每年卖出10亿美元的亚马逊股票(为他的私人火箭公司筹措资金)不会有任何影响。

He could just delete a billion dollars a year from the database and his wealth would still increase.

他每年可以从数据库中减记10亿美元，但是他的财富仍然会增加。

Why do you think he is limited to $1B per year?

你为什么认为他每年卖出的股票价值会被限制在10亿美元？

A bit of simplification but...

我说的有些简单，但是……

If you're in control of a large public company, it's tough to sell stock without being accused of some form of insider trading (even if you sell during open trading windows). You can get around this by declaring a sales schedule years in advance (e.g. "on such and such date, no matter what, I'm going to sell 1mm units of stock"). That's what Bezos is doing.

如果你控制着一家大型上市公司，你就很难在不被指控进行内幕交易的情况下卖出股票(即使你在公开的交易窗口出售这些股票)。你可以通过提前数年宣布销售计划的做法来解决这个问题。（比如说“在某一天，无论如何我都将卖出1单位的股票”)。这就是贝佐斯正在做的事情。

You also don't want to liquidate too many shares at once, since that can tank your stock price. That's bad for not only Bezos and outside investors, but his white-collar employees (e.g. engineers, account managers, product managers, marketers, executives, etc...); they receive a large amount of compensation in stock-form.

同时，你也不想一次性卖出太多的股票，因为那样会使你的股票价格下跌。这不仅不利于贝佐斯和外部投资者，也不利于他的白领雇员(如工程师、客户经理、产品经理、市场营销人员、高管等)。他们以股票形式获得大笔的报酬。

Plenty of CEOs unload their stock at more than $1b per year.

许多首席执行官每年卖出的股票价值就超过了10亿美元。

I wouldn't say plenty. There aren't many CEOs that own that much stock in their own companies (highly unusual, except for founders/CEOs who have been with the company through the early growth stages).

我不会说得太细。没有多少首席执行官在他们自己的公司里拥有这么多的股份(除了那些在公司早期发展阶段就进入公司的创始人和首席执行官之外，这是非常不寻常的)。

Anyways, he could sell more if he wanted to; he'd just have to announce a new stock sale schedule. He probably still expects the stock to keep going up, hence he's remains heavily invested in the company. If he needs a lot of cash for something (say investing in Blue Origin), it probably makes more sense for him to take out cheap debt against his current stock holdings (this is what Larry Ellison does).

不管怎样，只要他愿意，他就可以卖更多的股票：他只需要宣布一项新的股票销售计划。他可能仍然预期股票会继续上涨，因此他还会对公司进行了大量投资。如果他需要大量的现金(比如用于投资蓝色起源)，他可能更有理由拿出他目前持有的股票抵偿债务(这就是拉里·埃里森的做法)。

I don't know if that's a real limit or just what he's decided to invest

我不知道这是一种真正的限制，还是他决定进行投资的

Yes. You can buy some pretty decent small companies for a few billion.

是的。你可以买到一些相当不错的小公司，只要几十亿美元。

Bezos is involved in many costly enterprises like space travel. You can make use of such a large sum.

贝佐斯参与了许多成本高昂的企业，比如太空旅行。你可以花掉这么大一笔钱。

Meanwhile amazon dodge tax as a business model and pay their staff poverty wages.

与此同时，亚马逊还在以一种商业模式来避税，并向员工支付少得可怜的工资。

Cool guy.

冷酷的家伙

Amazon has a distribution center in my area paying 17.00 an hour. Almost higher than what I was getting paid for a skilled trade per hour minus my bonuses.

亚马逊在我的地区有一个配送中心，每小时需要支付17美元。几乎比我从每小时的劳动中所获得的报酬都要高，当然，要减去我的奖金。

Because Amazon is a global mongul. Those companies pale in comparison to Amazon.

因为亚马逊是一个全球性的超级反派。与亚马逊相比，这些公司显得苍白无力。

I've known many people that have worked for Amazon in various capacities. Two good friends were software engineers that were paid very well (at least competitively with Microsoft). Another friend worked in one of their fulfillment centers for a year just doing the normal grunt work of putting orders in bins and boxing, etc. He made something like $14/hr which was more than me as a junior sysadmin at a local ISP in the same town. I don't think anyone was making "poverty" wages and certainly not worse than any other unskilled warehouse worker in the region

我认识很多在亚马逊工作过的人。两个好朋友是软件工程师，他们的薪水很高(至少与微软相比是有竞争力的)。另一个朋友在他们的一个物流中心工作了一年，他做了一份普通枯燥的工作，在箱子上打订单。他的工资似乎14美元/每小时，这还是要比我在同一个镇的本地网络服务提供商中做初级系统管理员挣得多。我认为在亚马逊没有人会挣到“少得可怜”的工资，当然也不会比该地区其他任何非熟练的仓库工人更糟糕。

I disagree about poverty wages. People simply working in Warehouses are making $16/hr for a job that doesn't require any formal training. If you actually get effort to learn a marketable skill, you make 6 figures creating software. How is that "poverty wages"?

我不同意少得可怜的工资的说法。那些在仓库里工作的人不需要任何正式培训就能每小时挣到16美元。如果你真的努力学习了一项有市场价值的技能，你就会拥有挣得6位数财富的能力。“少得可怜的工资”是怎么回事？

It pays it staff whose jobs could be replaced by anyone with a middleschool diploma or a robot what they are WORTH for their labor. They dont pay their staticians or programmers minimum wage.

它所支付薪酬的那些工作人员的工作岗位可以被任何一个拥有中学文凭的人或者一台机器人所取代，这就是他们的劳动价值。他们不会给他们的统计员或程序员支付最低工资的。

    pay their staff poverty wages.

给他们的员工支付“少得可怜”的工资

no one is forcing those people to work for poverty wages. The law sets the minimum. The market determines the rest. Raise minimum wage if you want workers to get paid more. Amazon isn't doing anything wrong in the slightest. Do you pay more for goods out of the goodness of your hearts or do you take the agreed upon price at the shelf? Why should Amazon pay extra if people are lining up to work at that wage? If the wage is "poverty" level that is an issue for the government, not Amazon.

没有人强迫这些人为了少得可怜的工资去工作。法律规定了最低工资。市场决定其余的事情。如果你想让工人获得更高的工资，就提高最低工资水平。亚马逊没有做错任何事情。你是出于内心的良知而为商品付出更多的钱，还是接受货架上约定的价格呢？如果人们会排着队为这份工资去工作，那么为什么亚马逊还要支付额外的费用呢？如果工资还在“少得可怜”的水平，那么这就是政府的问题了，而不是亚马逊的。

When I hire someone to clean my garden or look after my dog, I treat that person with respect.

当我雇人打扫我的花园或照看我的狗时，我会尊重他。

I dont make them wait 30 minutes unpaid for security checks or give them a series of unmeetable targets to get as much as possible out of them

我不会让他们花上30分钟不算薪酬的时间进行安全检查，或者给他们设定一系列不符合要求的目标，让他们尽可能达成这些目标。

Amazon like UBER, treats employees like s***.

亚马逊就像优步一样苛待雇员。

It can afford to treat its employees better.

它本有能力给予员工更优渥的待遇。

Unfortunately we can want that and expect it to happen all we want, and it wont because human nature/self-interested rational action. This is why we have a government - to create laws and try to make things fair and reasonable.

不幸的是，我们想要它，并期望它能实现我们想要的一切，这并不是基于人类的本性和自利的理性行为。这就是为什么我们要有一个政府——让它来制定法律，努力使事情变得公平合理。

This is what the right side of politics do not seem to understand and they'd probably just call me a communist or something

这就是政治光谱中的右翼似乎不理解的事情，他们可能就会称我为共产主义者或其他什么。
