The first $200 billion man

Amazon chief Jeff Bezos isn’t just the world’s richest person, he’s also the first to rack up over $200 billion in wealth, according to Forbes. Amazon stock has been climbing through the pandemic as consumers increasingly shop online, sending his net worth up by about $87 billion since January. Several tech CEOs have seen their wealth balloon in recent months as tech companies increasingly dominate the stock market, with Apple, Amazon, Microsoft (LinkedIn’s parent), Facebook and Alphabet reaching a combined value of over $7 trillion.
