3:49Now PlayingPresident Trump’s onslaught of tweets against Amazon rattled the market. What’s really at stake here for Jeff Bezos? We break down the Amazon empire.
Just how wealthy is Jeff Bezos?
It would take the combined wealth of 2.3 million Americans to equal the $127 billion that the Amazon co-founder is now estimated to be worth.
Bezos took the top spot on Forbes' world's billionaires list for the first time ever with a net worth of $112 billion at the end of 2017, leaping past Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates and Berkshire Hathaway CEO Warren Buffett.

Since the beginning of the year, he has made billions more and is now worth an estimated $127 billion, according to the Bloomberg Billionaires Index.
