Elon Musk is no longer the richest man in the world

Until last month, Bezos held the title of the richest person in the world since 2017. The personal fortune of the Amazon founder, which is mostly concentrated in Amazon stock, has skyrocketed in recent years along with the company’s stock price.

In August last year, he became the first person with a fortune of over $ 200 billion, and in 2018 he was the first to cross the $ 150 billion mark.

In early February, Jeff Bezos announced his resignation as CEO. He will be replaced by Andrew Jassy, ​​current CEO of Amazon Web Services.
