Where do you propose drawing the line on too much versus just enough fortune? Is $1M enough but $1B isn't? There will always be one person that is the most wealthy person in the world unless you want to go the opposite route and turn the free market into a socialist society. I don't disagree with the problems of the world and healthcare and basic human needs are hard to come by for a large group of people. That problem need not be conflated with the disagreement that there is a single person who has more wealth than anyone else.

How was the system stacked in Jeff's favor exactly? He started a company and grew it to become what it is today. I really don't understand how the system is stacked in his or any one persons favor. I agree the rich get more wealthy and the poor less but that problem isn't systemic of Jeff Bezos' personal wealth accumulation.
