Jeff Bezos, the founder of the company, chief executive officer and president of Amazon.com, is also the chairman of its board. In July 2017 he was named the most successful person in the world beating Bill Gates for the first time. Between October 2017 to January 20,21, he was the richest person on the planet. Jeff owned more than 80 million Amazon shares at his peak. Jeff donated 19.7 million shares to his wife as part of the agreement to divorce in April with MacKenzie Bezos. At the date of the transfer the shares were worth $36 billion. Jeff's net worth sank from $150 billion down to $114 billion following the settlement. Jeff was also an early investor in Google.com. He owns around $1 billion worth of shares in Alphabet Inc. This was prior to the divorce, and he still owns 80 million shares. Jeff's net worth hit the record high of $170 billion at the time of that valuation.
