The richest man in the world does not stop increasing his wealth even during the crisis. He now has exactly $ 199.7 billion in his account
Many billionaires have definitely remained immune to the crisis, moreover, it has probably helped them increase their wealth.
Among them is certainly the currently richest man on the planet, Jeff Bezos, who broke a new, own record.
Until just a few days ago, it had a net worth of $ 197.8 billion, but already today it has reached the famous $ 199.7 billion, and it is a little short of “rounding off the value”.
That means that the second richest man in the world, Bill Gates, remains far from the boss of Amazon, with his “modest” 115.5 billion dollars.
Yesterday, Amazon shares jumped 1.2%, boosting its fortune by about $ 2.1 billion. Because it has such a large stake in the e-commerce company, even the slightest shift for the better, related to Amazon’s growth, automatically reflects on Bezos ’account balance.
This record comes after Bezos reached a value of $ 197.8 billion, which Fortune magazine recorded as a record since he measured billionaire status in 1982. As a reminder, Bezos has an 11.1% stake in the company with a market value of $ 1.68 trillion.
