Amazon chief Bezos world’s third-richest person

SAN FRANCISCO — Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos is having a good month. He’ll see himself on the silver screen as an alien extra in the new Star Trek movie, he announced his space company Blue Origin had a successful rocket landing and oh, he became the world’s third richest person. According to the Bloomberg Billionaires list, Bezos, 52, was worth a cool $65.1 billion as of Thursday. That puts him at No. 3 on the list, slightly above from investor Warren Buffett, who’s now worth a mere $65 billion. With Amazon’s stock soaring, Bezos has been inching up the list. Ahead of him are Spanish retail magnate Amancio Ortega, worth $73.4 billion and former Microsoft CEO Bill Gates, worth $89.1 billion.
