Full title: Jeff Bezos is now the richest man EVER: Amazon CEO's fortune rockets to record-breaking $105BILLION after shares hit an all-time high

Jeff must really be thankful to the Trump administration for creating so much new wealth. I'm sure the WP will have an editorial on it any day now.

He is still under the Rothchilds.

[rktman]

Damn that Trump...................oh! Never mind.

[SoCal Pubbie]

Does he have any grandkids to kidnap?

[Dr. Ursus]

John D Rockefeller was worth 600 billion in today’s money.

I wish I had that type of success.

But Bezos has always been known as an arrogant hard ass with staff and partners, and I dont think I could be that person.

[Slyfox]

When he started his little online book selling business people said he was nuts.

[Uncle Miltie]

Yet Amazon pays virtually no taxes.

And Bezos and his mouthpiece the WaPo argue for more taxes on the little people.

“What does it matter if you gain the whole world but lose your soul.”

[Lopeover]

While some of his employees are on food stamps and the US Postal Service goes bankrupt because of the discounts it gives Amazon.

Pathetic.

It’s ok - like all good lefties, I’m sure he’s donating most of that to charities & non-profits...

Having billions in stock is an interesting thing. He surely has so much that if he ever tried to sell it in large quantities he would drive the price into the toilet. To get the money out at something close to full value he'd have to sell it in small blocks over a long period of time so as not to distort the market. Large institutional holders do something like that when they decide to sell something they have large holdings of. So his portfolio is worth that but if he tried to get to it, it's worth would plummet.

It's a nice problem to have, I'm sure. The thing that must really eat him up is that this huge gain in value is thanks to Trump, who he apparently despises based on his Washington Post.

last year Amazon refused to give out bonuses to its workers because of some screwy math they conjured up.....the richest company in the world...

hopefully my son will get something good this year...

but if people are expecting all these "producer" CEO's to really help out the American people now that they have had their corp. rate tax cuts, you're dreaming.....I don't trust them....
