For a long time Jeff Bezos has been comfortably ensconced in the throne of the richest person in the world. However, at the beginning of the year and boosted by Tesla's spectacular stock market growth, Elon Musk took the crown from Bezos and became the person with the greatest fortune on the face of the earth. However, Elon Musk's reign has been short-lived, since about a month later Bezos once again holds the title of richest person in the world , according to data from Forbes by Tesla . With a fortune estimated at more than $190.3 billion, Bezos has been leading the ranking of the richest people in the world since 2017 (except for Musk's fleeting reign). The CEO and founder of Tesla is the owner , for his part, of a wealth of 173.4 billion dollars. Bezos's personal fortune is indebted above all and above all to Amazon shares , which have skyrocketed in the stock markets in recent months thanks to the company's extraordinary performance (spurred largely by the pandemic).
Both Amazon and Tesla have grown a lot in recent months on the stock market In recent times, Bezos has shattered several records on behalf of his personal assets . In August of last year, the CEO of Amazon was the first person who managed to make his fortune exceed the Phone Number List barrier of 200,000 million dollars . And two years earlier, in 2018, he became the richest man in recent history when his fortune exceeded $150 billion. Bezos' recovery of the title of the richest person in the world has come shortly after announcing that he would leave his position as CEO at the head of Amazon in the third quarter of 2021 . He will take his baton from Andy Jassy, who is currently CEO of Amazon Web Services.
By resigning from the position of CEO of Amazon, Bezos will be able to focus on other projects such as the aerospace transport company Blue Origin or the charitable organizations Bezos Earth Fund and Amazon Day 1 Fund. In the last year, Amazon shares (slightly down since the beginning of 2021) have jumped 93.5% to $3,268.95 per share. Even more meteoric has been the race led by Tesla in recent months on the stock markets , whose shares have skyrocketed 1,002% to $796.22 over the last twelve months. Today, Tesla is the automobile company with the largest market capitalization on the stock market , whose sum ($109,314.8 million) is ahead of practically all traditional manufacturers combined.
