Several of the world’s richest people mone their wealth balloon by billions last year, but none more than Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos. That’s according to Forbes’ and richest people in the world lists, which Business Insider used to calculate the daily increase in net worth of the richest people in the world. We simply found the difference between their and net worths — published by Forbes in March of each year — and divided that figure by to represent the number of days in a year. To makee clear, these billionaires didn’t earn the same amount of money every day inconsidering a great deal of their net worth comes from the value of stocks, which can fluctuate wildly. For the purposes of this calculation, every day is counted the same, whether it was a banner day or even one where the billionaire lost millions. Note that figures are approximate because of rounding.
