Forget Bezos & Gates: The Real Richest Man in the World Is Worth More than Both – Combined

When the dubious Richest Man in the World title earned shock with Amazon head and Washington Post boss, Jeff Bezos, ousting Microsoft billionaire, Bill Gates, by a hair’s breadth, it’s likely the voting delegate hadn’t considered the one person who could handily best their net worths – $90 billion and $89.8 billion, respectively – combined.
Considering the return of the Red Scare of late, that the man worth an estimated $200 billion might be deleted from the world’s wealthiest shortlist, perhaps makes sense – because he’s no other than the President of Russia and hauntingly keen investor, himself, Vladimir Putin.
Bezos’ stunning empire, including a $600 million deal between Amazon and the CIA in 2013 – notably, the same year the Amazon founder and CEO purchased the Washington Post – certainly impresses as a personal fortune, by just about any measure.
