Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos added a record $13 billion to his fortune on Monday amid a coronavirus-fueled boom for his e-commerce empire.
A 7.9 percent jump in Amazon’s stock price helped the world’s richest man notch the largest one-day increase to any individual’s net worth in the history of Bloomberg’s Billionaires Index, which tracks the fortunes of the wealthiest people on Earth.
Bezos, 56, is now worth $189.3 billion — making him more valuable than major corporations such as McDonald’s, Exxon Mobile and Nike, according to Bloomberg.
The tech tycoon has added $74.4 billion to his wealth so far this year amid a 73 percent surge in Amazon’s stock price. The conglomerate has benefitted from increased demand for online shopping as lockdowns meant to control the COVID-19 pandemic shut consumers in their homes.

To show how much money $189.3 billion in, if Bezos spent $1,000,000 day, it would take him almost 519 years to spend it all
If he invested the whole thing and got just a 4% return on his investment, he would earn $7.6 billion a year. That $7.6 billion in interest would allow him to spend $20.7 million a day without ever touching the $189.3 billion

He needs to throw a couple dollars toward getting my Amazon Prime ordered package here within a week. Delivery was supposed to be last Thursday.

I know people joke about "Such and such has more money than they could ever spend.." but seriously, how could you spend 190 billion dollars?

At $10,000 a night, you could hire 2,000 high end hookers and still have $700k left to spend on blow

You gotta have it in something spendable first. A decent chunk of it is company stok

This is why he doesn't give a shite that Seattle residents loot his stores.
China Flu has probably benefited Amazon more than any other business.

He don’t have 189 billion in cash to invest, he has that in stocks in amazon which is being invested on fools buying his crap

I wouldn’t be surprised at all if we learned that Bezos was responsible for the whole damn COVID thing... what better way can you think of to increase “home/internet shopping” besides a pandemic that precludes people from going to shop at brick-and-mortar stores?

People who think armies can't be funded privately in this day and age forget about people like this guy.

He might lose close to 2 billion today.
