I used to work for Amazon. I did not give Jeff Bezos $100,000. In fact, I actually made money out of the deal.
If you were a fairly senior SWE then customers gave Amazon a few million dollars for the work you did. Jeff got $2.8m, you $200k. On paper it's unfair, unreasonable, and unbalanced, but you agreed to it, and without Jeff you would have earned less. Maybe it's fine.

This was early in my career, and I didn't work on anything customer facing, but there's still no guarantee of that. What if I'd worked on the Fire Phone?
