| Summary |
"On an average day, Jeff Bezos, Amazon's founder, makes almost $215 million dollars or $21.5 million an hour if we assume he works a 10-hour day. This estimate is based on changes in Bezos' net worth which is, at least partly, tied to Amazon stocks and fluctuates regularly. But even as a basic estimate, this suggests that Bezos receives considerably more than the average Amazon employee who receives about $15 an hour or $28,466 per year. This amounts to a ratio of 1,433,333:1 in hourly income. Jeff Bezos is currently the richest person in America with a net worth of $137 billion, a sum that allowed him to buy both a $165 million mansion in Beverly Hills and a $90 million plot of land also in Los Angeles (from Microsoft co-founder Paul Allen) in 2020. These purchases were in addition to other properties he already owns in Los Angeles, Seattle, and New York City, which are together worth hundreds of millions of dollars"-- Provided by publisher |
