People care about where they sit in their local monkey pile, not global. That is, they care about their position relative to their neighbor. If they feel their prospects for the future are good and they are doing as well or better than their neighbor, they are generally happy.

John Q. public could care less about Jeff Bezos unless they feel he is part of the 'theft' group listed in my original comment. People like winners that win fairly.

I doubt Feynman would have cared either. He was playing a different game.
