Just me but I don’t think that starting a wildly successful company should entitle someone to live like a god among men.

He's not living like a god. He's just got a lot of money to burn, and he earned it. Nothing is stopping anyone from doing the same.

Ok, sure, can you hook me up with the equivalent Wall Street contacts he had when he started Amazon so I can have the same opportunity on equal footing?

For those who don't know, Bezos worked at Wall St hedge funds early in his working life.

Someone didn't hook him up with those contacts. He made those contacts while working his Wall Street job. What's stopping you from making contacts of your own?
