Jeff Bezos Was The Richest Person In The World For A Few Hours by eddyline(m): 8:19pm On Jul 30, 2017 |
At least Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos can say he was once the richest person in the world . On Thursday, after earnings expectations skyrocketed Amazon stock, Bezos dethroned longtime richest-guy-ever Bill Gates with an estimated wealth of $92 billion. But, alas, it appears it wasn't meant to last. By Thursday afternoon, Amazon's reported earnings fell short of expectations, and the retail giant's stock went tumbling as a result. Because Bezos owns 16% of Amazon shares, his wealth took a dip right along with it. CNBC estimates his net worth dropped by $6 billion between Thursday's peak and early Friday. That's not to say Bezos isn't still exceedingly wealthy. The CEO is still the second-richest man in the world, and his wealth grew by $25 billion over the past year alone, according to the network. |
