Even as the U.S. entered its worst economic downfall since the Great Depression in 2020, Bezos’ fortune increased from $74 billion to a whopping $189.3 billion. Unbelievable!
One of the major reasons his company, Amazon, has reaped benefits is due to the coronavirus lockdown. For obvious reasons, people are increasingly buying online and avoiding shops.

Guess what, now his personal wealth reportedly exceeds the value of huge multinational companies like Exxon Mobil Corp., Nike Inc. and McDonald’s Corp and is roughly on par with the GDP of Iraq.
It’s 2020, anything is possible.
