“Well, henchman #37, it is important I make people suffer and I show them my power. To that end I bought up $500 million worth of single family homes. But buying the world’s most expensive stuff just for me is important too. I also spent $500 million on my yacht. A bookend to show them I doubly don’t care.” Then he laughs evilly muhahahaha, muhahahaha, muhahahaha.
I don’t even know if it’s that focused on being evil. I wonder if his brain is so fucked and profit driven that he hasn’t even considered how he’s ruining so many young people’s chances to own their own houses.
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.

He’s a cartoon villain at this point.

Eh nah he’s probably that evil.
James Bond villains are evil and he’s worse.
