The top honcho of the billionaires list is Jeff Bezos, the founder, CEO, and president of Amazon.com, Inc. He is an American internet and aerospace businessman, media proprietor, and investor. He was named the “richest man in modern history” after his net worth increased to $150 billion in July 2018. His divorce settlement with ex-wife MacKenzie brought him down from his peak net worth as he parted with a few billions (MacKenzie is also on this list) in the richest divorce settlement ever. MacKenzie agreed to hand over voting control of her shares in Amazon (worth 25% of Jeff Bezos stake), and gave up her stakes in the Blue Origin rocket company and The Washington Post. Jeff Bezoz is far richer than anyone else on the planet. His net worth increased when Amazon became the second company in history to have a market cap of $1 trillion. Bezos has recently unveiled the Day One charitable fund with an initial investment of $2 billion, to help nonprofits focused on homelessness, and preschools for low-income communities.
