傑夫·貝索斯單日資產增百億
Amazon founder Jeff Bezos became $13bn (10bn pounds) richer in a single day on Monday after shares in his company surged nearly 8%.
週一,亞馬遜股價暴漲約8%,其創始人傑夫·貝索斯僅在一天內身家就增加了130億美元(100億英鎊)。Already the world's richest man by a huge margin, Bezos is now estimated to be worth $189.3bn (148bn pounds).
貝索斯原本就是世界首富,身家遠超他人。據估計,目前貝索斯的資產為1893億美元(1480億英鎊)。His fortune has ballooned $74bn (58bn pounds) this year alone, according to Bloomberg, with Amazon shares up more than 70% in 2020.
據《彭博社》消息,僅今年一年,他的資產就暴增了740億美元(580億英鎊),2020年亞馬遜股票漲幅超過70%。
The daily jump in the 56-year-old's wealth is the biggest ever recorded by Bloomberg's billionaire tracker.
在彭博億萬富翁追蹤數據記錄中,這位56歲的富豪單日財富漲幅最大。The all-encompassing web giant has reaped the benefit of the coronavirus lockdown as people increasingly avoid shops and buy online.
這家無所不賣的網絡巨頭公司在疫情期間賺得盆滿缽滿,因為人們越來越不願意去實體店了,都選擇網上購物。Bezos famously started his company in his garage in the mid-1990s, rapidly expanding from selling books to establish an online juggernaut that spans the world.
眾所周知,上世紀90年代中期,貝索斯在車庫裏開始創業,最初賣書,很快發展成為網絡巨頭,業務遍佈全球。His personal wealth now exceeds the value of huge multinational companies and is roughly on par with the GDP of Iraq - and only about $14bn (11bn pounds) behind Greece.
現在他的個人財富超過了一些大型跨國公司的市值,與伊拉克的國內生產總值相當,僅比希臘少140億美元(110億英鎊)。
