Richest Man: There is going to be a change in the list of the world's richest people. Currently, the richest person in the world is Tesla and SpaceX owner Elon Musk. Amazon founder Jeff Bezos is at third place in this list. But, Jeff Bezos may soon become the richest person in the world. Actually, Bezos is planning to sell shares of Amazon. The shares of the e-commerce company have increased rapidly in the recent past. Bezos wants to collect wealth by selling them.

Jeff Bezos has about 5 crore shares of Amazon Inc. The prices of Amazon shares are increasing rapidly. According to Bloomberg, his plan is to sell these shares gradually within a year. The money coming from this sale can again make him the richest person in the world.
Bezos' wealth increased by 13 billion dollars this week
This revelation came when Amazon has recorded its best online sales since the Covid pandemic. Due to this, the company's shares have jumped by almost 8 percent to reach the rate of $172. Due to the rise in shares, Jeff Bezos's wealth increased by $ 13 billion on Friday. Now he is 5.7 billion dollars behind Elon Musk, who is at number one in the list of the richest. According to the Bloomberg Billionaires Index, Bezos has never been able to come at number one in the list since 2021.
The decline in Tesla shares continues
A completely different trend is being seen in the shares of Tesla and Amazon. On one hand, Amazon's shares are moving upwards, while on the other hand, Tesla's shares are in a downward trend. Tesla has been receiving bad news one after the other for some time now. This has also had a negative impact on the company's stock. This week, a Delaware court had put a stay on his salary package of $ 55 billion. Due to this, there is a possibility of huge loss to their property this year.
