Jeff Bezos is doing quite well for himself in the pandemic ... he just became the first person ever to be worth $200 billion.

The Amazon creator saw his net worth soar to incredible heights this Wednesday (August 26), as his company's stock continues a gradual increment which started when the pandemic first struck the United States.

With Amazon's share price increasing another 2.3% Wednesday to $3,423 per share, Bezos' net worth flew past the $200 billion markers.

Incredibly, Jeff is worth more than titans like McDonald's, Nike, and Pepsi. Those companies are valued between $139 bil and $191 bil. Cheers to Bezos.

Amazon stocks have soared are up more than 100% since March 16, when COVID-19 turned global life upside-down resulting in more people making use of online shopping.

Bezos has broadened the gap between himself and Bill Gates marginally, with Bill in being the world's second-richest man having a net worth of $123 billion.

Jeff would have crossed the $200 bil marker earlier were it not for his divorce from his ex-wife, MacKenzie which cost him $137 billion.
