History made as Jeff Bezos is now the first person in the world to have a net worth of $200 billion. Among all the economic crisis, loss and destruction all over the world in this season, this one man seems to be profiting off of all of it.
The Amazon CEO was already the richest person in the world, but has seen a net increase to $200 billion from $74 billion during the span of 2020.
The spike in Bezos’ net worth comes after Amazon’s stock traded at $3,406.84, increasing 1.8 percent or up $60.35 a share on Wednesday, according to the New York Post. Bezos now has $77 billion more than Bill Gates, whose net woth is just over $123 billion.
According to reports, Bezos would be even richer had he not recently divorced his longtime partner MacKenzie. She won 20 million Amazon shares in the divorce settlement, which made her the 13th richest person in the world at $64 billion.
