it's not like she is jeff bezos. jeff bezos is worth something like $190 billion.has so much money now the only thing he can think of to do with it all is to launch himself into space. i know yo think i'm kidding. he said, quote, the only way i can deploy this much financial resource is by converting my amazon winnings into space travel. that is basically it. so now he's doing it. funding a space tourism company and heading to space next month himself. the wealth that amazon, that company generated is almost impossible to wrap your head around, especially the last year. because of the pandemic amazon which was already unimaginably giantic. they saw a huge upsurge in business last year. everybody was staying out of stores and staying home and ordering online. you take what they made in profit in the three years before the pandemic, and add those together. that's how much amazon made last year alone. they made three years of profit in one year last year. so, jeff bezos is making himself into a spaceman. and his ex-wife is giving away billions of dollars a year and st

jeff bezos did not support the conclusion in the data.no income tax at all, zero, because that is what the current tax code allows them to pay. the single creepiest item in the data is that in 2011, back when jeff bezos was only worth $18 billion, he even claimed and received a $4,000 tax credit for his children. propublica reports that, quote, those 25 people saw their worth rise a collective $401 billion, from 2014 to 2018. they paid a total of $13.6 billion in federal income taxes in those five years, the irs data shows. that's a staggering sum, but it amounts to a true tax rate of only 3.4%. and many of them have paid much less than 3.4% in some years. propublica's analysis continues, quote, by the end of 2018, the 25 were worth $1.1 trillion. for comparison, it would take 14 14.3 million ordinary merge wage earners put together to equal that same amount of wealth. the personal federal tax bill for the top 25 in 2018, $1.9 billion. the bill for the wage earners, $143 billion. joining our discussion now is dorothy brown, a professor at

jeff bezos and elon musk have been named.ro publica accessed confidential tax data that has exposed this scandal. ♪ reporter: that stark revelation confirms what has widely been believed, that america's uber-rich date next to no income taxes. amazon's jeff bezos. no tax in 2007-2011. elon musk paid nothing in 2018, according to leaked tax data published by propublica. taken together, it demolishes the cornerstone, of that american tax system, that everyone pays their fair share and the richest. the most. irs records show that the wealthiest can perfectly and legally pay income taxes that are only a tiny fraction of the hundreds of millions if not billions that their fortunes grew each year. that is because their wealth derives not from salaries, but from the skyrocketing value of assets like property, which are not subject to tax until they are sold. they can get tax deductions for things like charitable donations. according to the nonprofit analysis, the total wealth of 25 richest americans jumped more than $400 billion betw

so jeff bezos gets a middle class salary of about $85,000.ies which are sometimes ostentatious displays of so-called sacrifice. salaries at the high level are taxed at the highest marginal rates. there's not much of a sacrifice. the point we're trying to make is these guys are outside the system entirely. when you have wealth growth, you are not in the american tax system, because the american tax system as you know taxes income in the very traditional sense. this is wealth growth, and what they do is they borrow against their wealth growth. so the question is, okay, they've got wealth growth, they've got unrealized gains, but how do they live, how do they buy the stuff they want to buy? they borrow it. elon musk has pledged 92 million shares to get money. larry ellison has had a $10 billion credit line. they borrow against it and they don't have to actually realize their gains and sometimes they actually can take the interest that they're spending on the borrowing and deduct it from their income. >> we didn't get to this. time's up. jeff bez
