Jeff Bezos’s Net Worth Has Grown By 23 Donald Trumps Since Trump’s Election
Donald Trump is no fan of Jeff Bezos. Perhaps you noticed.

Trump is not going to tell you (because he doesn’t have to), but his net worth is north of 10 billion.
no it’s not. that’s ridiculous. and even if it was true, he would still be a pauper compared to Bezos.

It’s frankly pretty insane that this is even possible when Amazon makes basically no profit. Trump is (gasp) actually correct in they pay little to no taxes because of it.
Don’t get me wrong. I understand the Amazon business model better than most. I get why it’s so valuable. But to become the world’s richest person without actually turning any meaningful profit is… well, i think that’s really unprecedented.
