The fortune of the founder and president of e-commerce company "Amazon.com" and the richest man in the world, Jeff Bezos, has increased since the beginning of this year, with the company's share price increasing due to the growth of its activity against the background of the pandemic of the emerging Corona virus (Covid-19).
The company's share rose yesterday by 5% to reach its highest level ever, which Bezos benefits from as the owner of a major share of the shares.
According to the Bloomberg News Index of billionaires, the value of Bezos' fortune since the beginning of the year has increased by $ 24 billion to $ 138.5 billion.
The demand for Amazon.com services has increased sharply since the beginning of the world 2020 due to anti-Corona measures, including encouraging people to avoid crowded stores and stay at home for the longest time possible.
At the same time, the company is struggling to cope with the growing demand as customers have to wait a long time so that they can register their orders with them.
While the company faces accusations of not taking adequate measures to protect its employees from the possibility of infection with the "Corona" virus, it does not appear that the investors stopped at these accusations and continued to buy the company's shares.
