Jeff Bezos named richest person in the world third year in a row

 

   

   For the third year in the row, Mr Bezos has earned the top spot in Forbes’ list of billionaires.Despite his $40 billion divorce, a contributing factor to the $18 billion drop in his net worth last year, bringing him down to a paltry $113 billion,  Mr Bezos is still the man on top. 

   Just over half the world’s billionaires have lost money due to the virus, collectively losing $700 billion since 2019. Taking their losses into account, this year the billionaires are worth only $8 trillion.
