Jeff Bezos is now the richest person of all time. That should put an Amazon smile on his face.

The Amazon CEO's net worth reached $105.1 billion Monday, according to Bloomberg's billionaire tracker. That eclipses the record previously held by Microsoft founder Bill Gates.

Forbes, the other major tracker of the net worth of the world's richest, put Bezos' net worth at a mere $104.4 billion.

The majority of that net worth comes from the 78.9 million shares of Amazon stock he owns. Shares of Amazon (AMZN) climbed 1.4% Monday, adding about $1.4 billion to his net worth.

Shares of Amazon (AMZN) are up nearly 7% so far in this year after rising 56% in 2017.


Not bad

I just don't get the point of continuing at this point.

Slowly sell your shares and retire.

I think he's just a workaholic. He's become one the largest producers in Hollywood now (well, Amazon has). Its crazy how far they've come. Quite impressive.

He has enough money to give every man woman and child in New Orleans nearly $270,000.

It's actually aggravating, dealing with banks, IRS, assistants who you hired when they had makeup on and you thought were pretty..dealing with others is the worst part.

It's like when you're in bed, banging with two OT 10s..and an OT 8, and the 8 whispers in your ear, "save it for me".

If I were him, I'd have the world's largest needle manufactured and walk a camel through its eye. Just for reassurance.

Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos's net worth just crossed $100 billion, the first time in modern history that a person has been known to hold such a massive amount of wealth. 

But he's still far from African King Musa Keita I, who is thought to be the richest person of all time - "richer than anyone could describe," reports Time.
