      Amazon Mogul Jeff Bezos is the richest man in the world for those who have Bill Gates, a neighbor in Seattle, for 20 years after third-quarter performance was lower than expected for e-commerce conglomerates. You may lose the title.<\/p>\n

      <\/p>\n

      According to Bloomberg billionaires, Amazon shares fell more than 8{7be40b84a6a43fc4fae13304fce9a2695859798abfc41afd127b9f8b21c5f9c5} to $ 1,624 after a few hours Thursday after e-commerce giants reported a first quarterly decline in profits since 2017. It shook him behind Microsoft founder $ 105.7 billion. The ranking will be updated after Bloomberg's market close, so the switch won't be formalized until Friday's trading closes.<\/p>\n

      On Friday morning, the stock traded near $ 1,738, down 2.3{7be40b84a6a43fc4fae13304fce9a2695859798abfc41afd127b9f8b21c5f9c5} from Thursday's closing price.<\/p>\n

      Bezos has been the richest man in the world since 2017. His net worth skyrocketed to $ 116 billion, finishing Gates' 24th consecutive year of top management. A potential change in Bezos status is related to the transfer of a quarter of Amazon's stake, worth about $ 36 billion, to McKenzie Bezos, under a divorce agreement earlier this year. The contract made her one of the 20 richest in the world.<\/p>\n

      <\/p>\n

      Of course, these rankings are ultimately paper chases because numbers fluctuate and do not account for all assets. Bezos also owns the aerospace company Blue Origin, Washington Post, and owns a wide range of real estate.<\/p>\n

      <\/p>\n

      According to Forbes, Gates was well aware that it was not his charity. According to Forbes, since retiring from Microsoft in 2014, Gates has excluded all shares except 1{7be40b84a6a43fc4fae13304fce9a2695859798abfc41afd127b9f8b21c5f9c5} \u200b\u200bof the company's share. And he has donated more than $ 35 billion to the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, which has been chairing with his wife since 1994. The world's largest charitable foundation.<\/p>\n

      Microsoft is currently the most valuable company in the world, with a market cap of more than $ 1 trillion. Betting on cloud computing has resulted in a 21{7be40b84a6a43fc4fae13304fce9a2695859798abfc41afd127b9f8b21c5f9c5} increase in revenue this quarter by allowing customers to rent computing power from Microsoft without buying their own products. But it still lags behind Amazon, which created a market with Amazon Web Services.<\/p>\n

      Amazon's third-quarter performance disappointed Wall Street with a drop of more than 25{7be40b84a6a43fc4fae13304fce9a2695859798abfc41afd127b9f8b21c5f9c5} year-over-year to $ 2.1 billion on Thursday, driven by lower profits on faster shipping. The company's worldwide shipping costs rose 46 percent year-over-year to $ 9.6 billion, and Amazon will spend $ 1.5 billion on shipping in the fourth quarter, said Brian Olsavsky, chief financial officer, Thursday.<\/p>\n

      <\/p>\n

      Earlier this year, shares rose nearly 16{7be40b84a6a43fc4fae13304fce9a2695859798abfc41afd127b9f8b21c5f9c5} ahead of earnings reports.<\/p>\n
