The state of Jeff Bezos, the richest man on earth, has reached $ 128,1 billion, Bloomberg calculated. This is $ 19,2 billion less than two days ago. The owner of the Internet giant Amazon has lost this amount due to a sharp fall in Amazon quotes on the American exchange, writes RBC.

Bezos’s loss of $ 19,2 billion over two days was a record in the history of mankind, Bloomberg claims. The previous record belonged to Mark Zuckerberg: at the end of July 2018, he was impoverished by $ 16,5 billion due to the rapid depreciation of Facebook shares. During October, Bezos could twice beat this achievement: October 24, the owner of Amazon, lost $ 9,9 billion; October 10 - $ 12,7 billion. Each time these losses were associated with the collapse of the shares of the Internet giant.

Jeff Bezos's fortune reached its peak in early September: at that time Bloomberg estimated the total value of its assets at $ 167,7 billion. Since then, the billionaire has been steadily becoming poorer. At the time of this writing, his two-month total losses reached $ 39,6 billion. Microsoft founder Bill Gates holds the second place in the ranking of the richest people on the planet; its current state is $ 92,8 billion

Following the results of the auctions at the beginning of this week, the world's leading indices dropped to their lowest values ​​since 2016. The leaders of the fall in trading in the US were Amazon, Alphabet and Netflix, reports The Wall Street Journal. On Monday, October 29, Amazon shares fell 6,3%; the previous business day, October 26, Amazon quotes fell by 7,8%. As of Tuesday morning, October 30, they are trading at $ 1527 per share.

Financial analysts polled by Thomson Reuters recommend buying Amazon shares. This recommendation is given by 45 respondents from 48. Experts expect 38,57% growth from the shares of the Internet giant over the course of the year.
