American businessman, philanthropist and space explorator Jeff Bezos is perhaps best known for his invention of Amazon.com. Jeff Bezos is the founder and chief executive officer president and chairman of the board of Amazon.com. In July 2017, he became the most successful person on earth, surpassing Bill Gates for the first time. He was the wealthiest person on the planet in a continuous manner from October 2017 to January 2021.According to Amazon's latest SEC report, Jeff owns 55 million shares of Amazon approximately 12% of the total shares outstanding. Jeff owned more than 80 million Amazon shares when he was at its highest. In the April 2019 divorce settlement with MacKenzie Bezos, Jeff transferred 19.7 million shares to his ex-wife. At the date of the transfer the shares were valued at $36 billion. The settlement temporarily reduced Jeff's net worth from $150 billion to $114 billion. Jeff was also a pre-IPO shareholder in Google.com. He owns at most $1 billion shares in Alphabet Inc. This was before his divorce, so the company still has 80 million shares. Jeff's net worth reached an all-time high of $170 billion at the time of that valuation.
