Jeff Bezos Could Become<br />the World’s First Trillionaire An old report by Comparisun recently <br />resurfaced online, detailing the <br />wealth of Amazon founder Jeff Bezos. The report found that the yearly growth rate <br />for the Amazon CEO's wealth over the <br />last five years was an average of 34 percent. When used to estimate his future growth,<br />they predicted that Bezos would reach<br />the trillionaire mark as early as 2026. Bezos, who has been the world’s richest person since<br />2017, currently owns an 11 percent stake in Amazon. COVID-19 has increased demand for the massive <br />online shopping service in recent months, <br />with sales in 2020 already topping $75 billion. According to 'Esquire,' Bezos is also one of the<br />five richest people in the world who haven’t lost<br />money in 2020 as a result of the pandemic. When his net worth does reach $1 trillion,<br />Bezos will be worth more than the individual<br />GDP’s of 179 countries. That’s 3.4 billion people<br />or 43.7 percent of human life.
