Had Jeff Bezos Never Divorced Today He Would Be Worth Over 200 Billion Thanks To Amazon S Soaring Share Price

We’re talking, of course, about Jeff Bezos and his now ex-wife MacKenzie Bezos. For comparison, the second richest person in the world today, Bill Gates, is currently worth $115 billion.

Is Jeff Bezos The Richest Person In History?

Whenever Jeff Bezos or Bill Gates pass a weird new wealth milestone, we like to compare their net worth to the inflation-adjusted fortunes of people from history. The Mellons. The Rockefellers. The Carnegies. For your reference, here is a list of the richest people of all time, inflation adjusted: The 25 Richest People In Human History – Inflation Adjusted If Jeff Bezos was worth $205 billion today, not only would MacKenzie still be living under his roof, but he would be the 8th richest person of all time, inflation-adjusted. He would have just topped Henry Ford’s $199 billion. He’d need to make $30 billion more to jump William the Conqueror’s $229.5 billion. At the $155 billion he’s actually worth today, he actually knocked Bill Gates out of the 12th person of all-time spot. If that happens, Jeff’s net worth will be $195 billion. MacKenzie Bezos will be worth $64 billion. Today MacKenzie’s $51 billion net worth makes her the fourth richest woman in the world behind Alice Walton ($54 billion), Julia Flesher Koch ($55 billion) and Francoise Bettencourt-Meyers ($58 billion). So if MacKenzie’s net worth increases to $64 billion and the other women’s net worths do not increase above that amount, she will become the richest woman in the world.
