More than 100 workers gathered outside Jeff Bezos’ Washington, DC, mansion on Thursday and set up a guillotine outside his front door to protest Amazon workers’ wages.
The protest came the day after Bezos’ net worth surpassed $200 billion, making him the richest person in history. His wealth has grown by about $85 billion since January, boosted by Amazon’s revenue amid the COVID-19 pandemic.
While the COVID-19 pandemic has prompted some Amazon employees to speak out about working conditions, it’s also been a financial boon for the company. It reported $88.9 billion in sales in the second quarter of 2020, a record for the company.
