Jeff Bezos' fortune is drawing attention on Twitter, claiming that he may be the world's first trillionaire, thanks to Amazon's profits during the pandemic.
Such a claim came as a result of a study by Comparisun, a business advisory platform, which says the net worth of Bezos' wealth could reach $ 1 trillion by 2026. Trillion - a number equal to a thousand billion.
The company considered raising profits on the New York Stock Exchange as well as the list of the 25 richest people in Forbes.
However, Forbes, on the other hand, says Bezos needs a long way to go to become the world's first trillionaire.
When Bezos joined Borbes' list in 1998, four years after founding Amazon, he had a fortune of $ 1.6 billion. Today, Forbes says Amazon's CEO's fortune is $ 143 billion. He owns 11.2% of Amazon, which is expected to be one of the most risk-free companies for pandemics, due to increased demand for online purchases.
However, on the other hand, Bezos said in April that Amazon "is in the most difficult time" due to the Covid-19 deal, which in this case is related to the increase of employees' salaries, the purchase of their personal protective equipment, development of coronavirus testing etc.
