Well yeah but that's sort of the point I guess. The real geniuses - while I'm sure they're on very decent salaries - don't make a pinch of the money that these guys are making literally by the minute. And they're not the ones with the genuine talent... They're just businessmen who were lucky enough to make the right investments at the right time. Clever and insightful? Sure... But not inspiring.
Bezos especially is a perfect example I think - Amazon was already established as a book retailer and they made the choice to move into general retail just as online retail/broadband in every home took off in a huge way. The reason Amazon is so huge is, mostly, good timing.
