Im pretty sure John D Rockefeller was worth twice as much as Jeff Bezos currently is when accounting for inflation. Rockefeller was worth the equivalent of 500 billion today. Bezos ain’t even half way there

You are correct.  I heard 400 billion, but that's still twice as much as Bezos

With the growth rate of amazon’s stock (not to mention blue origin, etc) give it a few years.

Either way 5 generations from now the Bezos kids won’t be hungry.

And I can bet Rockefeller was far more diversified with his investments. Bezos has almost all his eggs in one basket.
