Bezos Richer Than Ever

The economy is in a depression.
However, Jeff Bezos' net worth has increased.
CNN reports that he's now worth nearly $172 billion, a new record for the world's richest person.
This week, Bezos beat his previous wealth record that he reached prior to his divorce from his ex-wife MacKenzie.
Much of Bezos' wealth is tied to Amazon.
He owns roughly 57 million shares, or 12% of the company. And its stock has soared 56% year to date.
