Main example being luffy, kid, and law all getting 3 billion each after wano. All 3 got the same bounty do to them sharing equal credit for taking down kaido and big mom. Whether you think its fair they got equal credit is it's own thing but thats the reasoning behind the bounties
The same chapter we find out there bounties is the same chapter we also find out luffy became an emperor
What makes luffy an emperor and not kid and law despite getting equal credit for taking down kaido and big mom is luffy's crew. The main crew being worth almost 6 billion not even taking into account luffy's or the grand fleet members bounties.
Again with luffy's crew not really effecting his bounty directly in any way but them being strong enough to have him be recognized as an emperor.
Same thing happened in dressrosa to a smaller scale with just luffy and law. Both getting 500 million and equal credit for taking down doflamingo. Despite luffy even back then obviously having the way stronger crew.
In chapter 957 instead of listing what each did to get their bounties it list what makes each an emperors. With us being told how they got their crews and how big a deal those crews are
Blackbeard: gaining members through impel down, pirates island and the territories left behind by after whitebeard passed
Shanks: his crew being full of heavy hitters with not just the main commanders but crew as a whole. Also it might not explicitly say but we know the rhp are way bigger than just the main members. Them also having subordinate captains and so on
Big mom: her crew being made up of her humongous family like her kids and people married into it in tottoland
Kaido: he kept gaining more and more strong members until he was recognized as an emperor
Possible exception to the rule being buggy and blackbeard
Buggy:
Buggy being viewed as the leader of cross guild is obviously what made him an emperor. At the same time him being thought to have the power to command crocodile and mihawk. With them likely being used to estimate how strong buggy is with him likely being viewed as stronger
Blackbeard:
Gaining more than a 1 billion berry boost even before he invaded Amazon lily. Imo it likely having to do with the fact kuzan a former admiral officially joined under his crew. With them likely scaling blackbeards new bounty to how much stronger theyd believe hed have to be to have him as a subordinate
