How much do you think Jeff Bezos's net worth is due to government assistance?

This question came up in conversation with my conservative friend who believes that Bezos's net worth is entirely due to government subsidies and support. <br><br>Bezos's net worth is currently approximately $114B, and his company's market cap is approximately $790B. Amazon was not a major company until the early 2000s, so that gives us about 20 years to calculate government subsidies and support.<br><br>I don't think it is possible to accurately quantify this, but what do you think?
