Amazon Just Closed At An All Time High - 1

Is Jeff Bezos The Richest Person Of All Time?

No. When you take into account inflation, Jeff Bezos is not yet the richest person in history . But he did just jump up from #12 to #11 and is only $3 billion away from taking the #10 spot from Cornelius Vanderbilt ( Anderson Cooper’s great-great-great-grandfather).

Jeff needs a couple hundred billion more to top people like John D. Rockefeller ($340 billion), Andrew Carnegie ($310 billion) and Mansa Musa I ($400 billion).

What If He Had Never Divorced?

MacKenzie’s stake has soared from $36 billion to an all-time high today of $60 billion.

So, had they never divorced, today Jeff Bezos would be sitting on net worth of:

$242 billion

Now that is truly an unimaginable number. That amount would have put Jeff in the top 5 richest people of all time.

For her part, MacKenzie has quickly climbed the ranks of the richest women in the world AND the richest people in the world. She’s not quite the richest woman in the world yet. L’Oreal heiress Françoise Bettencourt Meyers’ $66 billion net worth still holds the top spot. MacKenzie is within striking distance of being one of 10 richest people in the world . She’s likely to surpass Michael Bloomberg and Larry Ellison in the coming days.
