Mackenzie Bezos Could Become The Richest Woman In The World Tomorrow

Here’s a little background for those who have not been paying attention:

At the time she received her settlement shares in April 2019, the stake was worth around $35 billion. Note that the stock was relatively flat throughout that entire 2019 period leading up to the new year. And then the stock went on an absolute tear. You can see the stock dip slightly after the COVID panic hits the globe. Then it recovers. Then it took off like a wild stallion.

After today’s market closed, MacKenzie Bezos was worth $63 billion.

When MacKenzie started the year, here’s how the five richest women in the world stacked up:

#1: Francoise Bettencourt-Meyers – $62 billion (L’Oreal heiress) #2: Julia Flesher Koch – $60 billion (David Koch’s widow – Koch oil) #3: Alice Walton – $53 billion (Walmart founder Sam Walton’s daughter) #4: Jacqueline Mars – $42 billion (Mars candy) #5: MacKenzie Bezos – $37 billion

After today’s market close, here’s how that very same list stacks up:

#1: Francoise Bettencourt-Meyers – $65 billion #2: MacKenzie Bezos – $63 billion #3: Alice Walton – $56 billion #4: Julia Flesher Koch – $52 billion #5: Jacqueline Mars – $37 billion

The Richest Woman In the World – What Would It Take?

Having watched the recent ups and downs of their respective net worths, I predict MacKenzie will overtake Francoise when her net worth hits $65.1 billion. Francoise’ net worth is much more stable than MacKenzie’s, it has fluctuated between $64 and $65 billion in recent weeks. Do you think we’ll have a new wealth Queen in the world??? UPDATE 1:

It seems MacKenzie will have to wait until next week to get the crown 🙂 Update 2: Congrats MacKenzie!
