Bezos doesn't own entire states, and he can't use his wealth in the full on-paper value. Literally owning country-sized plots of land, all its natural resources, its people and everything they create including their children, having the privilege to tax all trade going through and assign trade monopolies is incomparable to anything Bezos might own even if he becomes a centi-trillionaire.

It was much, much more extreme for most of human history. So much more that I can't actually blame you for this mistake because it's that hard to comprehend how incredible the difference is.
