Do you know the richest man in the world?

Despite the global economy collapsing due to the countries ’closures to contain the outbreak of the Corona virus, Jeff Bezos, Amazon’s CEO, is one of the few that made big profits in 2020.

Bezos, the world's richest man, ranked about $ 23.6 billion in the first four months of 2020.

According to the Bloomberg Billionaires Index, Bezos' wealth increased by about 20%, bringing his wealth to $ 138 billion.

The big rise in Bezos’s fortune is due to the huge gains made by Amazon, the technology and retail giant, after increasing customer demand due to the closing actions, and people having to stay at home.

Amazon's share price hit an all-time high on Tuesday, to close at $ 2,283.32 and raise the market cap to $ 1.14 trillion.

The company announced last week that it would employ 100,000 additional people in the United States, and that it intended to employ another 75,000.

On the other hand, company employees feel fear and anxiety about their health, especially after the announcement of injuries in 74 of the company's branches in America, and the death of the director of operations at the company's branch in Hawthorn, California, according to the Business Insider website.

The company reported that the workers still feel intimidated when going to the company despite the hygiene and cleansing measures that they have taken, stressing that a policy of social separation is impossible between them.
