BEZOS RICHEST MAN IN MODERN HISTORY

Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos is now worth more than $150 billion, making him the wealthiest person since Forbes started tracking individual fortunes in 1982. The feat was tarnished slightly as Amazon’s site crashed after its Prime Day sale started and its workers in Europe went on strike on Prime Day. However, the company’s stock market value reached $900 billion, putting it in competition with Apple for the slot of Wall Street’s most valued player.
