Jeff Bezos, Amazon founder’s net worth became more than that of Microsoft CEO Bill Gates. On Monday, his net worth reached new heights with $105.1 billion on the Bloomberg Billionaires Index. However, Forbes had showed Bezos’ net worth at $104.4 billion.
Most of his income comes from the 78.9 million shares of Amazon stock which he owns. Amazon shares have risen by almost 7% this year after rising 56% in 2017, reported money.cnn.com.
Bezos overcame Gates in October last year with a net worth of $93.8 billion and his fortune crossed $100 billion for the first time on Black Friday, when the holiday shopping season kicked off.
