Jeff Bezos just added billions to his massive fortune — which is nothing new for him, but what’s new this time … it only took a few strokes of the clock to make that increase.
Stock for the Amazon honcho’s company surged 12 percent in a matter of 15 minutes Thursday afternoon, which equaled an astounding 11-digit increase to his bottom line.
The astronomical math? Bloomberg says Jeff added $13.2 BILLION just from the surge, which raises his net worth to about $129.5 billion. Forbes was a wee bit more modest, reporting Bezos added $12.8 billion to his portfolio, with a new net worth of $128.9 billion.
On an even grander scale — the stock boost pushed Amazon’s market cap north of $1 TRILLION!!! That’s a lot of zeroes.
