Right, and yahoo exploited people to get that money. Are you saying that his work on that site was more of a contribution to society than the entire lifetimes of thousands of tech workers, a few of which probably actually designed and built the site?
He made a website that yahoo bought during the dot com boom for $5 billion.

Okay but did he personally exploit those people? The people had already been exploited for their billions when Yahoo gave it to him.
Technically you also can’t buy food without exploitation, nor retire. And it’s not even unique to capitalism either, socialism also exploits people for others’ sake, the only thing that changes is the number of beneficiaries.
Really, you can’t have a society without exploitation.

And then hoarded billions for a couple decades?
