Why Would a Billionaire Need to Be “Fixed”?

The richest man alive has already chosen what’s worth perfecting—and it’s not his eyelid

Question: If Jeff Bezos is the richest man in the world, why won’t he fix his droopy eye?

There’s a strange paradox we often forget about the ultra-rich: once you’ve conquered the world, you no longer need to convince it.

We assume that wealth grants not only power and freedom, but an obligation to pursue some ideal form of physical perfection. But that’s a projection—our own insecurities wrapped in gold foil. What Jeff Bezos (or anyone of immense wealth and influence) represents isn’t the need to fix anything, but the power to choose what matters.

The “droopy eye” isn’t a flaw in his eyes—it’s one in ours. It’s the symptom of a culture that has confused polish with power, and vanity with value.

Maybe the richest man in the world doesn’t care about his eyelid because he’s thinking about colonizing Mars. Or maybe he’s simply human—capable of saying, “This is me, and that’s enough.” When your bank account holds more than most countries, you don’t spend your energy fixing what isn’t broken. You lean into it.

There’s power in imperfection that’s owned without apology. It says, “I’m not here to be aesthetically pleasing. I’m here to build, to lead, to disrupt. You’ll listen, even if one eyelid droops.”

And that, right there, is a lesson: the more you obsess over appearance, the less you control your narrative. The moment you rise above it, you shift the focus from how you look to what you do. That’s not just confidence. That’s influence.

So why hasn’t Jeff Bezos fixed his droopy eye?

Because maybe it doesn’t need fixing.
