Amazon founder Jeff Bezos is currently worth $150bn (£113bn), as indicated by the Bloomberg Billionaire Index.

Jeff Bezos’ total assets has expanded by over $60bn in a year, which makes him the world’s richest man.

This place his value higher than that of Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates, who has already topped the rich records – even at his crest in 1999.

At that point Mr Gates was worth $100bn – which would be around $149bn today, when balanced for inflation.

Mr Gates is as of now in second place with a value of $95bn, having given away 700 million Microsoft shares and $2.9bn in cash since 1996.

He gave the money and resources for the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, Bloomberg reports.

Mr Bezos says he is selling almost $1bn of Amazon stock each year to finance Blue Origin, the undertaking he has established to create commercial space travel.

It’s not the first run time when Jeff Bezos has topped the world’s rich rundown – in July 2017, he quickly overwhelmed Bill Gates to wind up the world’s most richest man as per Forbes when Amazon’s offers surged – yet came back to second place when their value dropped once more.

The news of Mr Bezos’ riches came as Amazon arranged for its colossal Prime Day deal on 16 July, which was defaced in Europe by worker strikes in Germany, Spain and Poland over working conditions.

“The message is clear – while the online giant gets rich, it is saving money on the health of its workers,” said Stefanie Nutzenberger of Germany’s Verdi services union.

Amazon said its workers were paid reasonably, with permanent staff earning €12.22 (£10.81) a hour or more following two years.

In the interim two of Amazon’s adversaries, Microsoft and Walmart, are set to declare a five-year deal which will see the retailer utilize the tech mammoth’s cloud computing technology, as per the Wall Street Journal.
