Posted by Mike on December 27th, 2019

Every era of human life on this planet has had different forms of power. We have read about the times when magic used to be the supreme source of power, then it came to weapons, and now it is all about money. There is nothing you can’t do without money. Nothing can stop you. Every year the Forbes Magazine makes a list of the richest people all around the globe. This is measured from their assets, profits, and estimated net worth. Currently, the top 5 richest people in the world include 1 French male, 4 Americans, out of which one is a person who filed his first tax return when he was at the mere age of fourteen, and out of these, there are two Harvard dropouts. Now, they dropped out of Harvard, which is a very prestigious college with extremely slim chances of acceptance. So, stay in school kids, and do not get any crazy ideas.

Jeff Bezos, The Richest Man Alive

According to this list, the richest person in the world is currently the CEO of Amazon, Jeff Bezos.The man has undoubtedly made himself a fortune by providing a means of selling some of the most amazing products, and some hilarious fails all around the globe. His current net worth is 2 billion. Can you even imagine all that money? We definitely cannot. Similar to other billionaire stories, Jeff’s success also starts from his garage, where he launched Amazon.com as an online bookstore, back in 1994. He had recently resigned from his job with D.E. Shaw in Seattle. According to D.E. Shaw, originally, the idea was pitched to him, and he was not interested, nor did he believe in it. Well, Shaw is surely having a major FOMO (Fear of Missing Out) moment now.

Amazon, The Biggest Retailer

Over the years, Amazon.com merged from an online bookstore into becoming the ultimate online retailer all around the world. It is trusted by millions, if not billions of people, at an international level for providing original, high-quality products. Jeff Bezos is the second man on the earth to have crossed the 0 billion mark. The first one was Bill Gates, who is now known as the second richest person in the world, with a net worth of billion. He is the co-founder of Microsoft Corp., and a Harvard drop out. Moreover, Bill is also a well-known philanthropist and is known to donate most of his money to different charities, and even has a charitable foundation of his own.

Other Billionaires in the Race

Bernard Arnault takes the fourth place by earning a net worth of billion through his world-renowned brand, Louis Vuitton. He is the French man who filed his first tax return at 14. The last but not least is our very own Mark Zuckerberg, with a net worth of billion. He is the CEO and Co-Founder of Facebook, who has made us all addicts of social media and has made catching deadlines a lot harder than it has to be.
