Jeff Bezos managed to reclaim his title as the richest man in the world
The fortunes of the Amazon founders, which are largely in Amazon stock, have skyrocketed in recent years along with the company's share price. Bezos also continues to record new fortunes.
Last August, he became the first person to experience a jump in his net worth of over $ 200 billion and in 2018 he became the world's richest person in recent history when his personal fortune rose to over $ 150 billion.
Bezos is once again the richest man in the world as he prepares to leave office later this year. As is known, earlier this month, Bezos announced that he would hand over control to Amazon's top cloud boss Andy Jassy.
Bezos is thought to still oversee the company he founded, but he will have more time to focus on other projects, including rocket company Blue Origin and The Washington Post, as well as the philanthropic venture Bezos Earth Fund and Amazon Day 1 Fund.
