Jeff Bezos, who is in charge of founding Amazon, has been rated as the richest man in the world with his wealth now exceeding $ 200 billion or RM 850 billion for the first time.

According to CBS News, Bezos’ personal wealth rose to a staggering level today as e-commerce company share prices hit a high of $ 3,438 per share.

Forbes data also shows Amazon shares are the best-performing stocks when recording a 4.1% increase. While the market capitalization value of Amazon reached $ 1.66 trillion. As a result, Bezos’ wealth, which owns 11.1% of shares in Amazon, jumped to $ 7.2 billion.

This wealth increased due to the increasing factor of the technology sector due to COVID-19 which has encouraged consumers to make more online purchases.

The Bloomberg Billionaire Index, also recording Tesla shares, has pushed CEO Elon Musk’s fortune to more than $ 100 billion. The same goes for Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg who recorded a net worth of more than $ 100 billion this month.
