This man is the richest in the world

Jeff Bezos became the first person to top the Forbes billionaires index with a net worth of more than $131 billion while last year as well, he had topped that list with more than $100 billion net worth despite Amazon’s stocks falling in August.



This year, he has $19 billion more than he did last year and that too at a time where the e-commerce giant, Amazon had a positive 2018. While Bill Gates follows in second place $98.7 billion with his Microsoft not being the most valued company. Mark Zuckerberg is also in the top 10 with his net worth accounting to $61.8 billion.

Bezos’ vast fortune and net worth have come into great speculation when he and MacKenzie announced their divorce in January via Twitter which remains pending.
