Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos regained his title as the richest person in the world after jumping over Tesla CEO Elon Musk, according to Forbes data.
Musk dropped its net worth by $ 3.9 billion on Tuesday when Tesla shares closed at $ 796.22, up more than 2.4%. The 49-year-old entrepreneur surpassed Bezos in January to become the richest person in the world, thanks to Tesla’s rising share price and its generous pay package.
Musk returned the title of the richest person in the world to Bezos just as quickly when he rose to the top of the rankings. Until last month, Bezos was the richest man since 2017.
The founder of the Amazon founder, which is mostly in Amazon shares, has soared in the past few years, along with the share price of the company. Bezos continued to reach new milestones for prosperity. Last August, he became the first person to see their net worth rise by more than $ 200 billion, and in 2018, he became the world’s richest man in recent history when his personal wealth climbed above $ 150 billion.
Bezos once again became the world’s richest person as he prepared to leave his post later this year. Earlier this month, Bezos announced he would hand over the helm to Amazon’s top cloud boss Andy Jassy. Bezos is expected to continue to monitor the company he founded, but he will have more time to focus on other projects, including his Blue Origin rocket company and The Washington Post, as well as philanthropic ventures from the Bezos Earth Fund and Amazon Day. . 1 Fund.
