re: Bill Gates is the richest man in the world again

If Amazon ever starts making money Bezos will really get rich.

thats not how it works. his wealth is intrinsically tied to stock, not company profits.

if amazon started making a profit due to market saturation instead of growth, the stock would likely stagnate or even drop making him less wealthy.

investors love them some growth companies, not companies who have peaked.
