A report says Amazon founder and CEO Jeff Bezos could potentially become the world’s first trillionaire as early as 2026.
It’s been said that the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic has given nature room to heal, but it’s also had an effect on the world’s billionaires.
Amazon‘s CEO is noted to be worth $113 billion, sitting atop the list for the third time running, even after that Bezos recently paid $38 billion to ex-wife MacKenzie Bezos as part of their divorce.
While Chinese real estate tycoon Xu Jiayin will follow Bezos to become the second trillionaire in the world in 2027, according to the study.
Of the 25 individuals the company analyzed, only eleven realistically have a chance of becoming a trillionaire during their lifetime, based on their recent rate of wealth growth.
