Jeff Bezos tops Forbes’ record-setting billionaire list for 4th consecutive year

Forbes’ annual world’s billionaires list includes a record-breaking 2,755 billionaires, with Amazon.com Inc founder Jeff Bezos topping it for the fourth consecutive year, the media company said on Tuesday. The ranks of the ultra-wealthy are expanding after a year in which the coronavirus pandemic upended world economies and threatened the livelihoods of people across the globe. This year’s billionaires are worth a combined $13.1 trillion, up from $8 trillion last year, Forbes said. “The very, very rich got very, very richer,” said Forbes’ Chief Content Officer Randall Lane, in an interview with Reuters Video News. Tesla Chief Executive Elon Musk jumped into second spot on the list, up from 31st last year.
