Jeff Bezos. Amazon. Today.

The Amazon.com Inc. founder’s net worth broke $150 billion in New York on Monday morning, according to the Bloomberg Billionaires Index. That’s about $55 billion more than Microsoft Corp. co-founder Bill Gates, the world’s second-richest person.

That ain't no chicken scratch, eh?

It's a bucketful......he will probably open a foundation and give it away, ala Gates Foundation.

It's not like he stole it from the poor as some of the Socialists on here would like to believe.

No doubt he has been giving much away. But, what's left over is just an astounding amount. This is what's great about America. A guy can become this wealthy starting a business selling books in his home garage.

Have over 150,000 employees, not counting contractors and USPS and such?

I mean, what's a boy to do? It's rough these days living off of 15 - 20 billion a year on interest alone, and still having the nest grow.

Bezos could have five of those in every country on the planet and it wouldn't even register on his bank account.

John D Rockefeller was richer when accounting for the time, he was actually worth 1% of the GDP by himself. I believe Andrew Carnegie was pretty close too.

He could probably buy Haiti with the loose change he keeps in a coffee can.

If paying only what it's worth, I could buy Haiti with the change I have in a coffee can.

Sure does. Not sure which house this is, though.

There are a bunch on the Severn and the Creeks attached to it. The owner and company that installs them is, was out of cape st clair. These certainly arn't as extravagant as this one pictured, but they will get you to the water.
