Jeff Bezos is now twice as rich as Mark Zuckerberg

since the onset of the coronavirus pandemic. The Amazon CEO has seen his wealth increase by $25 billion since the beginning of this year, making him the richest person in the world, and placing him $35 billion ahead of the second-most wealthy billionaire, Bill Gates.

Zuckerberg is ranked as the fifth richest person on the index, and has seen a drop of $8.4 billion to his net worth since the beginning of 2020.The dramatic increase in Bezos' wealth is likely due to the huge surge in demand Amazon has experienced as lockdowns and stay-at-home orders force consumers into their houses.It has not been entirely plain sailing for the the retail giant however.

In France a court order stipulating that the company only ship essential items until it brings its safety practises up to code led Amazon tointo whether the company uses data from third-party sellers to give its own branded items an unfair advantage.Do you have a personal experience with the coronavirus you'd like to share?
