That isn't how Bezo's became a billionaire. He would not be one if his wealth came strictly from Capitalist ventures.
The bulk of the money was NOT a backroom deal. The bulk of the money was from publicly known years old incentives for any company that create jobs in NY. Some incentives older than Amazon the company itself.

Amazon will still have its original HQ in Seattle
Amazon is still moving forward with its plans for a headquarters2 in Crystal City, as well as the operation center in Nashville.
