Bill Gates is once again the richest person in the world

Microsoft founder Bill Gates outnumbered Jeff Bezos of Amazon as the richest person in the world. The ranking made Gates take first place for the first time in the Bloomberg ranking in over two years.

The survey shows that Gates increased his equity by $ 19.5 billion in the year 2019. Bezos fell by $ 16.2 billion in the same period. So the owner of Microsoft now has a fortune of $ 110 billion, Bezos of $ 109 billion.

The regaining of Microsoft's founder leadership is mainly due to the recent wave of gains seen in his company's stock. Over the past three weeks, the company's stock has accumulated a high of 6.1 percent, bringing the company's market value to $ 1.14 trillion.

Frenchman Bernard Arnault came in third with a fortune worth $ 103 billion. Warren Buffett, Mark Zuckerberg, Amancio Ortega, Larry Page, Sergey Brin, Charles Koch and Julia Koch complete the list of the top ten billionaires on the planet.
