For comparison I picked a random year from the past - 1970. If a 1970 Bond villain said he bought a $70 million yacht - I think audiences wouldn’t see him as rich and powerful - they’d laugh and complain it’s a cartoon situation. Nobody - not even a Bond villain - has a 70 million dollar yacht! Yet accounting for inflation - that’s what Bezos has now.
He’s much more efficient than a Bond villain. They have clandestine caves on weird islands, he has a few warehouses in every state. They have a team of dopey henchmen, he has thousands of normal everyday people working so hard for him they’re peeing in bottles.

James Bond villains are evil and he’s worse.
