It's rare for Bill Gates to get ahead of someone's wealth. After the results of Amazon and the appreciation of the shares of the company, however, this happened. And Gates was overtaken by the founder and main shareholder of Amazon - Jeff Bezos.Gates has been the leader for the past four years.
Bezos, however, raised its net wealth by $10.4 billion after the stock of its parent-funded company rose by 13 percent, after better-than-expected results, or by at most two and a half years.
At the end of Friday, Bezos' net fortune ended at 93.8 billion dollars, or 5.1 billion dollars ahead of Gates.
Only since the beginning of the year, Bezos has raised his wealth by 28.5 billion dollars. By comparison, for the same period, Gates' wealth increased by $6.3 billion, even after donating $4.6 billion of Microsoft's holdings to its foundation in August.
