The difference in pay is easier to understand if we keep the time increments the same:

Dude: $16/hr

Bezos: $9,000,000/hr

Bezos makes 562,500 times as much.

Edit: added a missing zero

I agree with your point, but I'm struggling with your numbers... Is it $9,000.00/hr or $900,000/HR?

Editting myself to add: either is a horrific amount for one man to earn

If we take the 150,000 / min from the meme as given, then that's 9,000,000 / h. That also gels with the factor of 562,500. I think friend_of_satan just dropped a 0 there.
