In third place comes Jeff Bezos with a net worth of around $148.2 billion, Forbes reports. Bezos is known for founding Amazon (AMZN) in 1994. From just selling books in the 90s, Amazon has now grown to be the biggest online retailer in the world with a market capitalization of over $1 trillion.
It all started when Bezos was working on Wall Street and saw a gap in the market for selling products online and its potential. After selling books, he branched out to other products, such as household goods and electronics, and the success came from his business model, focusing on great customer service and low prices.
The entrepreneur also has other investments, including The Washington Post and Blue Origin.
