Jeff Bezos Overtakes Bill Gates As The World’s Richest Man, Again!

A few months ago, we have seen the founder and CEO of Amazon, Jeff Bezos, beats Bill Gates to become the World’s Richest Person. However, that tag didn’t last for long. After few hours Bill Gates grabbed his first position.

Now it looks like, Jeff Bezos, CEO of the world’s largest online retailer Amazon has again managed to overtake Bill Gates as the world’s richest man. The recent reports from Forbes show that a 2% rise in Amazon’s stock had added approximately $900 million in Jeff Bezos’s net worth.

The addition of $900 million makes it a whopping $90.6 billion. If we take a look at Bill Gates’s net worth, it stands at $90.1 billion which is little behind that of Jeff Bezos.

Well, as we have already mentioned this is not the first time Jeff Bezos has outpaced Bill Gates. Previously, on July 27, Bezos gained the first place of the world’s richest person when Amazon shares hit a historic high.

Jeff Bezos has been on the Forbes list of richest person since 1998 which is the same year when his e-commerce giant Amazon went public. So, what do you think about this? Share your views in the comment box below.
