Bill Gates, the founder of Microsoft, once again became the richest man in the world. He replaced Jeff Bezos, head of Amazon, who lost $16 billion from the beginning of 2019, according to the Bloomberg Billionaire Index.
Gates's assets are reportedly worth $110 billion as of Friday after Wall Street closure. The former head of Microsoft became richer by nearly $20 billion since January. Amazon's head Bezos has $109 billion.
The Bloomberg Billionaire Index is a list of the richest, on which their assets are valued live, taking into account, for example, increases and decreases in the share price, which are often a significant component of billionaires' assets.
