American businessman, philanthropist and space explorationist Jeff Bezos is perhaps best recognized for the creation of Amazon.com. Jeff Bezos is the founder and chief executive officer president and chairman of the board of Amazon.com. The company's founder first broke the record of Bill Gates in terms of wealth in July of 2017. Between the end of October 2017 and January 20,21, he was the richest person on the planet. At his peak the company owned 80 million shares of Amazon. In the April 2019 divorce settlement with MacKenzie Bezos, Jeff transferred 19.7 million shares to his ex-wife. At the time of transfer was $36 billion. The settlement reduced Jeff's net worth from $150 billion to $114 billion. Jeff was also an pre-IPO investor in Google.com. He holds at most $1 billion shares in Alphabet Inc. This was prior to his divorce, which means he still owned 80,000,000 shares. At that valuation Jeff's net worth reached the record of $170 billion.
