Leading the league of the richest, Amazons’ Jeff Bezos is once again at the top. The estimated net worth of the billionaire is estimated at $181.5 billion. He surpassed Elon Musk to become the richest, once again. However, both of them kept trading places to the top past week.
Even after Amazons’ stock dropped by 1% on Friday, it becomes the world’s richest. The stock of Tesla dropped by 2% and it was enough to push Bezos on the Top. Along with Jeff, there were more billionaires on the list. China’s Ma Huateng, chairman of Tencent Holdings, which owns the country’s most popular app, Weibo, saw his fortune increase by $ 6.6 billion. The reason for this was Tencent’s midweek rally, for a new estimated net worth of $62.8 billion.
Zoom Video Communications’ founder, Eric Yuan also had a good week, with his fortune bumping up to $1.5 billion to a new estimated net worth of nearly $17 billion. Zoom announced on Friday that it sold $2 billion worth of its shares in a secondary public offering. Along with Zoom, Air Bnb’s founders’ worth increased by $ 1.4 billion.
