Bill Gates at 62 years earns $250 per second. But Gates have just recently been dethroned from his title and now there is a new ultimate Richie Rich on the block.
Amazon founder Jeff Bezos is now officially the worlds richest man. He rose above gates with his net worth hitting $105.1 billion as of January 8th, 2018.
Bill Gates won the title in 1999 when his net worth was $100 billion, which made him the worlds richest man ever.
Amazon share price has moved up by over 57% for the past 12 months and will like grow in the near future. Amazon shares have skyrocketed by 6.6% this year and have gained 89% of online shopping including holidays and thanksgiving.
But Bill Gates would have surpassed $150 billion if not for his generous life style through the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation (BMGF) including about 700 million Microsoft Shares and $2.9 billion in cash. BMGF supports different cases of health care, poverty and education in many countries.
