Because if you call them Jeffrey Preston Bezos and William Henry Gates III they sound like assassins.

[sage2021]

Jeff is short for Jeffrey

Bill is short for William

And I forgot the other one but one more is the short version of a longer spelling

[sage2021]

Rich for Richard

You must have been really bored to come up with this question!

[NoDecision]

Well actually, their names are Jeffrey, William, and Richard. Their nick names are 4 letters. As for Elon, his 4 letter name is Jerk!

[jennifer_bloom]

I think it’s because short names are easier to remember. If you want recognition, you need to be short and memorable.

people call me Tina.. does that mean i will be wealthy tooo?🤔😅🤔

Coincidence. Some of them are nicknames. Though granted a lot of stereotypical male prep school nicknames like Trip and Biff and Clay have four letters.

[Xawyx-2]

Really? What a coincidence, maybe I should shorten my name (I kinda have one letter too much) :P

[andreasderjuengere]

They used the other letters to make money from them?

[msc545]

"cunt" and "fuck" and "shit" and "hell" also have 4 letters. This may not be a coincidence.

[purplepoppy]

As do turd, wank, frig, fart, knob, cock, slag, maga,

[msc545]

@purplepoppy those too...

[DirtyOldMan777]

because four letter guy names are very popular. I'm wealthy with 6 letters.

[OlderAndWiser]

Do you have a theory on this question, Thom?

[LiamJHayden]

Jeffrey, William, and Richard might be generally known by their nicknames, but their actual names have more than four letters.

[MikeTheBartender]

You tell us... Aviator Tomm. 😉

[Shiprex]

It's also single syllable names

[FrodoSkywalker007]

Dang! I'll never be wealthy!

[Veronika_p]
