When his net worth hit $150 billion on Monday, Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos became the richest person in modern history.

The 54-year-old is already the richest person in the world, with his net worth increasing by $52 billion this year. Taking into account inflation, his $150 billion fortune is more than the $100 billion Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates had in 1999, which would be worth $149 billion today, USA Today reports.

Bezos' staggering amount of wealth puts him well above his peers, including Gates ($93 billion), Berkshire Hathaway CEO Warren Buffet ($83 billion), Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg ($83 billion), and Inditex founder Amancio Ortega ($75 billion). Amazon stock closed Monday at $1,822.49, after climbing to a record $1,841.95 earlier in the day. Catherine Garcia

The guy started with two old doors on sawhorses for sorting tables. He didn’t get a multi million loan from daddy and file bankruptcy numerous times. Is it any wonder Donny dumpling is jealous.

Trump defender syndrome. Be patient. Nixonites had to face the obvious as well. It’ll be ok. 

I'm fine.  Somebody should be watching you though.  You don't wear a tie to work do you?  Bath robe?

Amazon has pretty much doubled in the past year.  Closed up again north of 1% on the day at yet another record high.  Got a bunch of it :bc: 

I bought some in December and wish I would have done it sooner and more...

I’m hoping it behaves like Apple did.  $10,000 15 years ago worth $1,200,000 today.  They got their fingers in many different things.
