Post Amazon’s Quarterly Results, Bezos Loses Tag Of The World’s Richest Man
On Thursday, Amazon Inc reported a fall of 26 percent in net profit for the September-ended quarter when compared to the same period of the previous year, its first decline since 2017.
Following the news, shares of the e-commerce behemoth declined by 7 percent in after-hours trading, tumbling founder Jeff Bezos' fortune down to $103.9 billion.
The fall pushes his ranking on the Forbes' Rich List to number two, below Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates, whose net worth stands at $105.7 billion, according to the magazine.
In after-hours trading, shares of Amazon dropped nearly 9 percent to $1,624 apiece within 20 minutes after the market closed.

Further, has also been selling his stocks in the open market in line with his previously declared plan to shares worth $1 billion every year to fund, Blue Origin, his private aerospace manufacturer and sub-orbital spaceflight services company.
