  • Jeff Bezos net worth has broken through his previous record as his shares rose 4.4 percent boosting the net worth to $171.6 billion.

Jeff Bezos net worth has broken through his previous record, even though he gave up a quarter of his share in Amazon.com Inc. last year as part of a divorce settlement.

Seattle-based retailer shares rose 4.4 percent to Wednesday’s record $2,878.70, boosting the founders’ world-leading fortune to $171.6 billion. According to the Bloomberg Billionaires Index, that tops his previous high of $167.7 billion set at Sept. 4, 2018

His earnings-this year alone $56.7 billion-reflect a widening wealth gap in the US amid the worst economic downturn since the Great Depression. Initial public offerings and booming stock markets have raised mega fortunes, just though tens of millions have lost their jobs. Upon fielding feedback this week about ending the pandemic threat compensation, Amazon announced it would spend about $500 million on giving the most front-line employees one-time $500 bonuses.

Amazon was on a roll, with the pandemic driving the change from brick-and-mortar retail to e-commerce. Bezos holds 11 percent of the market, the bulk of his fortune.

The majority of those with the highest gains in income have come from the tech industry. They cover Tesla Inc. Chief Executive Officer Elon Musk, who has added $25.8 billion to his fortune since January 1, and founder Eric Yuan of Zoom Video Communications Inc., whose wealth has nearly quadrupled to $13.1 billion.

Mackenzie Bezos, who since the couple split gained a 4 percent stake in Amazon, has a net worth of $56.9 billion and climbed to No. 12 in the ranking of Bloomberg. She recently leapfrogged to become the world’s second-wealthiest woman Alice Walton and Julia Flesher Koch, and now trailing only L’Oreal heiress Francoise Bettencourt Meyers.

This year, not every billionaire came out ahead. Amancio Ortega of Spain, the billionaire behind the fast-fashion chain of Zara, has lost $19.2 billion, most of whom are on the Bloomberg index. Hathaway, Berkshire Inc. Chairman Warren Buffett lost $19bn, while French luxury goods tycoon Bernard Arnault lost $17.6bn.

But most have had the downturn weathered. The total net worth of the 500 richest people in the world currently stands at $5.93 trillion, compared with $5.91 trillion at the start of the year.
