Jeff Bezos's Wealth is Hard to Fathom
In March, when markets plunged around the world amid worries about the covid-19 pandemic, Jeff Bezos, the boss of Amazon, lost $27bn of his wealth, according to the Bloomberg Billionaires Index. As the company’s share price bounced back, so did Mr Bezos’s fortune. His net worth has since risen by $82bn—a sum roughly equivalent to the annual output of Sri Lanka. On July 6th alone he made $10bn.
