People have run the numbers on this - Bezos is far richer than even the greediest dragons sitting atop their mountains of gold.
I don’t know how viable it’d be to get a viable metric.

Value of all of the gold in the world
$13,611,341,061,312.04
Based on the current gold spot price of $2,636.98

He is the second wealthiest person in the world, with a net worth of US$227 billion as of November 7, 2024, according to Forbes and Bloomberg Billionaires Index.[3]
So measured in gold at current prices, he’d have about one-sixtieth of the present global gold supply.
However:
It’s hard to know what the distribution of gold hoards are. One dragon might have an exceptionally large hoard.
It’s hard to know how many dragons we’re working with.
It’s likely that a world with dragons has a different value of gold.
That gold in our world isn’t actually accessible to Bezos at that price. If he tried buying that much, it’d drive up the price, reducing the effective percentage of the global share that he could afford to buy.

Maybe he gave up on being a dragon, but got inspired by DuckTales instead.

“When I Grow Up” is a great song by Fever Ray (Karin from The Knife).

When I grow up
I want to be a forester
Run through the moss on high heels
That’s what I’ll doBot?
A Fever Ray bot?
That would be pretty niche. I’m not going to confirm or deny.
