Amazon founder Jeff Bezos has just displaced Bill Gates as the richest man in the world. This was reported by CNN, after that firm's shares rose 13.5%.

The company that Bezos leads has not stopped adding millions to its assets and, on Friday, as Amazon's stock price continued to rise, its fortune shot up to unprecedented figures, according to calculations made by CNBC and Bloomberg Billionaires Index.

Another expert in financial analysis, Forbes, assured that the fortune of the founder of Amazon reached today about 90.6 billion dollars, while that of Bill Gates, founder of Microsoft, was in the 90.1 billion dollars, so now the first box on the list of the world's richest corresponds to Bezos.

This is not the first time this has happened, on July 27, Amazon reached a historical record in the valuation of its shares and its creator had placed it among the richest in the world. However, on that occasion, the pleasure did not last long as Gates recovered the first place in less time than anyone anticipated.

Jeff Bezos has been on Forbes magazine's list of billionaires since 1998, with a fortune then estimated at about $ 1.6 billion, just one year after the e-commerce giant's firm went public.
