Amazon Founder Is Now The Richest Man In Modern History Worth $200 Billion

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.

Bezos, who was responsible for building Amazon in 1994, has been the richest man in the world since 2017. While Microsoft founder Bill Gates is the second richest man in the world, having amassed personal wealth worth $ 124 billion.
