Jeff Bezos, the world's richest person, has a net worth of $100 billion after Black Friday buzz sent Amazon stock soaring to record highs.
Retail stocks are surging after Americans went crazy for Black Friday deals, spending about $1.5 billion online Thanksgiving evening.
Amazon gained 2.6% Friday to $1,186 a share, pushing his total fortune to over $100 billion, based on data from the Bloomberg Billionaires Index.
He is the first person in the modern era with a known fortune of $100 billion or more.
Bezos, Amazon's founder and CEO, owns 78.9 million shares of the tech and retailing giant, according to November filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, a roughly 16% stake worth $93.6 billion.
His fortune stood at $97.9 billion after the last stock-market close on Wednesday, according to the Billionaires Index, which is updated at the close of every trading day in New York.
With Amazon up 2.6% Friday, the value of his stake in the company would have increased to $93.6 billion — a $2.4 billion jump since Wednesday.
In addition to his Amazon holdings and cash investments, Bezos owns a roughly $3 billion stake in rocket company Blue Origin, and he owns The Washington Post, which he paid $250 million for, according to Bloomberg.

I quoted an article.
I personally find it absolutely hilarious how many of yall can't turn off that mental political switch. You see it every where you look and it consumes your entire thought process.
Has to be tiresome as fuk srs. Im glad I dont have that problem. Best of luck boyo.
Chit fuk 50 billion, after like 50 million you're done and all dreams can come reality. I imagine creating something that the entire world uses probably consumes you. In between having Angelina Jolie and Scarlette Johanson going down on him dude probably sits in hot tubs of pepto bismolBelief without evidence is a fools game.

Oh you're talking about me quoting the article then. Sure thing bud.
Like I said, has to be tiring. If I said the sky was blue you would get into your feelings about it and disagree with me.
Right, so you're saying he couldn't sell his shares for 100 billion dollars?Belief without evidence is a fools game.

A little neat fact when I was in high school we had a project with only $5,000 we were to buy stock of anything. I chose Amazon in 1997 when it was $18/share
Bought 277 shares at $18
Today's worth $1,186/share
Total imaginary money I would of had today if real. $328522Drunk at 3am on a Thursday crew.
Say something nice in my CP get something nice back ;)

Here's a business idea. Look at which company he is investing in. Invest all your life savings in the same company. Profit $$$$$$$$$$$.
n November 2010, an undisclosed entity affiliated with Rothschild purchased a 5.0% equity interest in Genie Energy, a subsidiary of IDT Corporation, for $10.0 million.[14] In 2013, Genie Energy was granted exclusive oil and gas exploration rights to a 153-square mile radius in the southern part of the Golan Heights.[15]
