As the world’s largest eCommerce company, Amazon, witnessed strong buyers’ pressures in recent months, Jeff Bezos experienced impressive gains in his net valuation.
After the closing of Thursday’s trading session, the 57-year-old American billionaire earned $4.24 billion.
Earlier this week, while Bezos attended the COP 26 climate summit in Glasgow, he sold shares of Amazon worth over $2 billion. In a speech at the summit, Bezos, the world’s second-richest person, declared he would invest $2 billion from his Earth Fund in restoring nature and transforming food systems.
“We should protect what we have left, recover what we’ve lost, and grow what we need to live without destroying the planet for future generations,” Bezos stated.
