 Jeff Bezos, the world's richest man, reached a record $211 billion net worth after shares of the world's biggest online retailer, Amazon, searched by nearly 50%. This follows Pentagon's intent to terminate a cloud computing contract with Microsoft, a major rival in the cloud computing space. The bullish sentiment on Amazon stocks boosted Bezos' wealth by $8.4 billion. The tech billionaire's ex-wife, Mackenzie Scott, the 15th richest person in the world, also posted daily gains of about $3 billion.
