The fortune of the richest man in the world, the founder and owner of Amazon Jeff Bezos has exceeded $ 200 billion, setting a new historical record.

As of now, Bezos owns a total of $ 202 billion. This is 40% (87 billion) more than at the beginning of 2020.

The main reason for the growth of Bezos’ wealth is Amazon. The company’s shares have grown by a quarter over the past three months, and by 86% since the beginning of the year.

Coronavirus quarantine, which has resulted in losses for many companies, has been a shock to Amazon: the company makes money primarily from online services and delivery, which have become extremely popular during the lockdown.
