Post by: Nefertiti on November 11, 2017, 01:40:00 AM

• Jeff Bezos became the richest man in the world Friday morning.
  
• The gain in Amazon stock' price added nearly $7 billion to his wealth overnight.
  
• This isn't the first time Bezos has passed Bill Gates, who formerly held the No. 1 spot.

He is such a simple guy. The last time I saw him he was driving an old beat up Honda. He has  a very notable giggle.

That is interesting - but I doubt he'll last as long as Bill Gates.

Actually, this bahindi here is the richest guy on earth by a wide margin. He's not on the list due to an uncommon generosity. He'd be no. 1 with about $130 billion to his name but instead he's not even a billionaire!
