Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos became $5 Billion richer on Friday after the company stock climbed almost 15 percent to around $449 a share, CNBC reports.
Bezos owned 83,933,463 company shares as of Feb. 19, according to FactSet.
But, to really wrap your mind around his killing at the stock market, consider this: Bezos’ one-day earnings were larger than the individual market caps of 17 S&P 500 companies.
Needless to say, Bezos is going to have a very good weekend.
