And Bill Gates Overtakes Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos hours after becoming World’s Richest Person
CEO and founder of Amazon, Jeff Bezos became
the richest man in the world on Thursday
morning, when a sudden surge in Amazon stock
made him $1.5 billion overnight. His fortune grew
to over $90 billion that day.
For several hours, Bezos was the richest person
on earth, surpassing Microsoft founder Bill
Gates.
He lost the title later in the day when Amazon’s
stock dropped, returning him to second place,
with a net worth just below $90 billion.
Bill Gates is back to being the world’s richest
man. Bill Gates has been top on the list for 18
out of the 23 years the Forbes Richest list was
initiated.
