Bezos remains the richest man in the world, despite the many recent financial problems that have plagued him recently. Only because of the divorce, his fortune decreased by 38 billion dollars. At the same time, Jeff’s average net worth has grown by 34% over the past five years. A this factor can already potentially lead to the fact that in 2026, upon reaching the age of 62, he will become the first trillionaire in the world.
As of mid-May 2024, the Forbes rating estimates Bezos’ fortune at $143.9 billion. It is known that as a result of successful transactions, he managed to sell Amazon shares for $ 1.74 billion.
Xu Jiaying: candidate number two
The richest real estate developer in China “steps” on the heels of the founder of Amazon. Comparison analysts agree that he will become a trillionaire the very next year after Jeff Bezos, in 2027.
Today, the state of the new leader of billionaires from China is equal to $43 billion. Jiaying’s dramatic increase in wealth in recent years is due to the recent surge in his stock price. There is a case when only in a day they grew in price by 4.6%. And if we talk in annual terms, then the increase can already be seen in a five-fold amount. This allowed the developer to rapidly rise in the Forbes ranking from seventh to third place back in 2017.
Today, Xu Jiaying is the richest man not only in China, but in the entire Asian region.

Third place behind Jack Ma
Comparison experts believe that the founder of Alibaba Group will be able to join the “club of trillionaires” as early as 2030.
The wealth of the rich man as of May 2024 is estimated at $40 billion. It should be noted that the largest Chinese company, Alibaba, owned by him, also owns the AliExpress trading platform.
Interestingly, Ma officially resigned on September 10, 2019. Today, he is replaced as chairman by CEO Daniel Zhang.
Jack Ma and other billionaires are mastering a new direction – philanthropy. In recent months, they have been helping improve China’s image in the wake of the coronavirus outbreak. For the PRC, this is a relatively new phenomenon, especially considering the Communist Party’s complex relationship with businessmen.
Ma is known to have donated more than 18 million masks and Covid-19 tests to more than 100 countries around the world. Russia was among them.

Therefore, his current behavior in the sale of the shares of most major airlines and even the investment bank Goldman Sachs is beginning to alarm analysts. Experts suggest that the billionaire is beginning to fear future serious problems with the American and global economies.
This is all the more strange if we remember that even at the height of the 2008 crisis, the investor did not exit the assets and was confident in the future of big business.

The latter is known as the creator of bitcoin, owning every eighteenth crypto-day sign in the world.
