200 Billion Dollar Man: Jeff Bezos First Person to Reach That Mammoth Sum

Even during a global pandemic, Jeff Bezos just keeps getting richer and richer.

The personal wealth of the richest man in the world climbed to an estimated $202 billion at market close on Wednesday, according to Bloomberg’s Billionaires Index. His overall worth has skyrocketed a mind-boggling $87 billion since January.
 
The Amazon CEO, who is now the first person ever to amass a $200 billion fortune, boasts an $86 billion edge on the world’s second-richest individual, Bill Gates, who is currently worth roughly $116 billion. Bezos first became the richest man on the planet in 2017.

The fifty-six-year-old’s personal wealth, which is mostly tied up in Amazon stock, has risen steeply in recent years along with the e-commerce company’s share price. His estimated 11% stake in Amazon makes up more than 90% of his assets.
