Bill Gates Regains World’s Richest Person Hours After Jeff Bezos Dethroned Him by chuks34(m): 12:46am On Jul 29, 2017 |
Amazon founder and CEO Jeff Bezos was the world’s richest person for less than a day, as Bill Gates reclaimed the top stop within 8 hours. This was after Amazon weak earnings pushed the company stocks lower on Thursday. Amazon said its net income declined to $197 million in the second quarter, from $857 million the same period last year, marking a massive 77 percent decline. Revenue rose 25 percent to $38 billion from $30.4 billion, but that was not enough for Bezos to retain his title. The e-commerce giant stock price plunged 3.2 percent to as low as $1,020 per share in after-hours trading, after they closed the day at $1,046 a share. Bezos, who owns 17 percent of Amazon stocks, saw his net worth falling to $88.7 billion, according to Forbes’ World’s Billionaires Real Time Ranking. Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates regained his title of world’s richest person with $89.8 billion of net worth, the ranking showed. Amazon is still the world’s fourth biggest firm by market capitalisation behind Microsoft, while Facebook is closing on the e-commerce giant. In fact, Facebook may surpass Amazon in market value if the latter’s shares continue to decline on Friday due to weak earnings, according to analysts.

omniwater: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-4737626/Jeff-Bezos-brief-stint-world-s-richest-human-ends.html He just held the position that truly belongs to Mr Gates for 1 day. Welcome back Mr Bill($¥£) I wonder how much he would have worth if he was to be a stingy man like a typical Nigerian business man or politician. |
