Bill Gates has famously held the title for ‘World’s Richest Person’ in the past, but Jeff Bezos and Elon Musk have quickly reached the stratosphere—each amassing more than $150 billion in 2021. In this video, Forbes illustrates how their wealth has fluctuated over the last 20 years. Jeff Bezos founded e-commerce giant Amazon in 1994 out of his garage in Seattle. He will step down as CEO and become executive chairman in late 2021. Elon Musk is working to revolutionize transportation both on Earth, through electric car maker Tesla – and in space, via rocket producer SpaceX. With his wife Melinda, Bill Gates chairs the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, the world’s largest private charitable foundation.
