Jeff Bezos | Founder of Amazon | $185 Billion

Internet entrepreneur and industrialist Jeff Bezos is the richest man in the world for 2020. His wealth is absolutely staggering, but it certainly didn’t come overnight. The entrepreneur’s story is one many are now familiar with. Jeff started his journey as a short-order cook for McDonald’s back when he was in high school. He later attended Princeton University and graduated with a Bachelor of Science degree.

He was still working for D.E. Shaw as the company’s fourth senior vice president, when he started working on Amazon— out of his home garage! Not bad for what is now one of the biggest companies in the world. With his net worth of $190 billion, he isn’t only the richest man, but also the first person ever to cross the $200 billion net worth. Other than his prowess in business, his leadership style and outlook when it comes to managing his ventures can be credited for his phenomenal success.
