(8 years ago)Just 10 days in 2018, Jeff Bezo, the founder of the Amazon, has seen his personal wealth grow by $4.4 billion as it had previously. Bezos now the value of his wealth is $106 billion, enough to cover twice the budget deficit [...]
Bezos is now worth $106 billion, enough to cover Britain's budget deficit twice as much.
Officially, he's the richest man on the planet. Just once before, a man had had had a total of 12 figures when Bill Gates' wealth reached its peak of $100 billion at the peak of the cancom bubble in 1999.
Bezos reached Gates last year, and the gap has expanded almost every day.
However, the impact of inflation means Bezos is not the richest man who ever lived, reports the Guardian”, Periscope broadcast.
Nor is he the richest American who ever lived: this title would go to one of the titans of the American industry in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Andrew Carnegie, John D Rockefeller and Henry Ford all amassed wealth that would make Amazon founder a relative when the rising prices are considered.
Further searching, lists of the 10 richest men of all time include Alan Rufus, a relative of William the Conqueror. According to the American magazine “Money”, when he died about 1093, Alan's wealth was worth 11,000 pounds.
Bezo's wealth, by contrast, does not amount to 1% of the current U.S. Local Product; to reach Rufus, his wealth would have to be $1.25 trillion.
While it is relatively easy to process the net value of Bezo and Gates by the value of their stock portfolios, no one knows for sure how many members of the Arab royal family are rich.
No one has come up with a final figure on Vladimir Putin's net value, though there are rumors that the Russian president's wealth is greater than that of Bezo or Gates. Muammar Gaddafi, the former Libyan leader, is said to have raised $200 billion during his time in power.
Bezo's wealth has been discovered in the <x0 billionaires' Index “Bloomberg”, which looks at available data on company ownership and market shares, making it easy to determine quantity.
The list is dominated by Americans, given their ownership in the world's largest public companies.
But others, from the Russian oligarchs to the leaders of developing countries, control large undiscovered sums.
The increase in Bezo's wealth is the result of the rise in Amazon's value stake in stock being driven by a stock market rally owed to many Trumpão corporate cuts, which went into effect at the beginning of the year. /Periscopi/
