Anler Posted July 17, 2018 Share Posted July 17, 2018 STEP ASIDE BILL GATES Jeff Bezos is now the richest person in modern history 12:16 a.m. ET David Ryder/Getty Images 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
F3600 Posted July 17, 2018 Share Posted July 17, 2018 Amazon at this stage does not deserve a 231 PE. Slash that to a 75 PE ratio and Bill's back in front. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
