Amazon CEO, Jeff Bezos Beats Gates To Become World’s New Richest Man
According to Forbes, Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos is now the richest person in the world for the second time as Amazon stock opened up more than 8% higher than Thursday’s close, adding nearly $7 billion to Bezos’ net worth overnight.
Bezos had a net worth of $89.7 billion, as of the start of trading on Friday, while Gates had a net worth of $90.1 billion, up $550 million from yesterday. Then by 10:15 a.m. Eastern, Amazon stock had climbed nearly 2% since the market opened, adding $900 million to Bezos’ net worth and putting him in the No. 1 spot with a net worth of $90.6 billion versus Gates’ $90.1 billion at that time.
Amazon stock surged in after-hours trading on Thursday after the company reported strong third quarter earnings. Amazon reported $43.7 billion in revenue, well above the $42.1 billion analysts expected.
Bezos became the richest person in the world for the first time three months ago as Amazon stock hit an all-time high on July 27, just before Amazon reported its second quarter earnings. But Bezos’ first time at the top of Forbes’ Real-Time Billionaires List only lasted a few hours.
Bezos first joined the Forbes 400 in 1998, one year after Amazon went public, with a net worth of $1.6 billion. Follow us on Instagram @sofovilla | Follow us on Twitter @sofovilla | Like our page on Facebook via @sofovillamedia

These days it's way easier to find any kind of replica watches sale for sale through an online retailer than it is to find an actual boutique. This is good news for us, the replica watches consumers, because it means prices comes down and we can compare many options and prices online before buying the one that best suits our needs. All luxury watches, such as fake rolex sale, Audemars Piguet, Breitling, TAG Heuer, Michele watches, in essence become discounted rolex replica sale once they go online. This is because so much supply online forces prices to come down. So you can still get a brand new, genuine designer rolex replica sale, but you pay much less than you would if you walked into a brick and mortar tag heuer replica sale retailer. While this may be to the dismay of the brands, it works to our benefit.
