congratulations are in order for amazon ceo jeff bezos, who is according to bloomberg and "forbes" theever. jeff bezos is worth just over $105 billion, which makes him the world's richest jeff, just ahead of dj jazzy. [ laughter ] if the richest person ever can't find a cure for baldness, it's not going to happen. [ laughter ] this is interesting. the reason jeff bezos is the richest person of all time is because bill gates gave so much of his money away to charity. if he hadn't, he would be the richest ever. which gives you an idea -- and i hope donald trump is listening because i think this could be a game changer for the country. here's what we do. we establish an annual income tax rate of 100% but only for one person. okay? whoever is the number one richest person in america has to give all their money that year to the government. can you imagine how much money super rich people would be giving away to not be that guy?
