In October, Bezos [cemented](https://money.com/jeff-bezos-6-billion-richest/) his position as the world's richest person. And just last week, after [a nearly 20% projected increase](https://money.com/jeff-bezos-net-worth-2017-100-billion/) in Amazon's Black Friday sales, he became the first person to [reach $100 billion](https://money.com/jeff-bezos-net-worth-2017-100-billion/) in net worth since Bill Gates did so in 1999. This week, the Amazon founder and CEO reached another milestone. According to [Bloomberg's billionaire index](https://www.bloomberg.com/billionaires/), the 53-year-old has made $35.7 billion year-to-date, more than anyone else in 2017. That's $9.9 billion more than the next guy on the list, [Evergrande group chair Hui Ka Yan in China,](https://money.com/billionaires-net-worth-highest-increase-china-donald-trump/?utm_campaign=moneymagazine&utm_source=facebook.com&utm_medium=social&xid=frommoney_soc_socialflow_facebook_money) and $10.2 billion more than Facebook's Mark Zuckerberg. Amazon shares have climbed more than 54% this year, as investors continue to see almost unlimited potential for the company's growth. In a note ahead of Amazon's re:Invent conference this week, a Goldman Sachs analyst said he thinks Amazon's current stock price, now at $1,197, [could rise 20% by year's end](http://markets.businessinsider.com/news/stocks/amazon-stock-price-goldman-sachs-most-bullish-price-target-yet-2017-11-1009798642)—meaning Bezos is likely to become even wealthier before the year's end. It's been a banner year for American tech titans: Zuckerberg, Google's Larry Page, and Oracle's Larry Ellison have each made more than $10 billion in 2017. Zuckerberg is now just a few billion dollars away from surpassing Warren Buffett as the world's third-richest person. ```json { "@context": "https://schema.org", "@graph": [ { "@type": "BreadcrumbList", "@id": "https://money.com/jeff-bezos-how-much-he-made-net-worth/#breadcrumb", "itemListElement": [ { "@type": "ListItem", "position": 1, "name": "Home", "item": "https://money.com" }, { "@type": "ListItem", "position": 2, "name": "Business", "item": "https://money.com/business/" }, { "@type": "ListItem", "position": 3, "name": "Entrepreneurship", "item": "https://money.com/entrepreneurship/" }, { "@type": "ListItem", "position": 4, "name": "Jeff Bezos Just Reached Another Huge Money Milestone" } ] }, { "@type": "WebSite", "@id": "https://money.com/#website", "url": "https://money.com", "name": "Money", "publisher": { "@id": "https://money.com/#organization" } }, { "@type": "WebPage", "@id": "https://money.com/jeff-bezos-how-much-he-made-net-worth/#webpage", "url": "https://money.com/jeff-bezos-how-much-he-made-net-worth/", "name": "Jeff Bezos Just Reached Another Huge Money Milestone", "isPartOf": { "@id": "https://money.com/#website" }, "datePublished": "2017-11-28T18:35:24.000Z", "mainEntity": { "@id": "https://money.com/jeff-bezos-how-much-he-made-net-worth/" }, "inLanguage": "en-US", "breadcrumb": { "@id": "https://money.com/jeff-bezos-how-much-he-made-net-worth/#breadcrumb" }, "dateModified": "2024-04-17T07:20:24.000Z" }, { "@type": "Article", "headline": "Jeff Bezos Just Reached Another Huge Money Milestone", "articleSection": "Business", "image": [ { "@type": "ImageObject", "url": "https://img.money.com/2017/11/171128-jeff-bezos-2017-earnings.jpg", "width": 3000, "height": 2001, "caption": "171128-jeff-bezos-2017-earnings" } ], "author": [ { "@type": "Person", "name": "Rob Wile", "url": "https://money.com/author/rob-wile/", "@id": "https://money.com/author/rob-wile/#author", "sameAs": [ "https://x.com/rjwile" ] } ], "publisher": "https://money.com/#organization", "datePublished": "2017-11-28T18:35:24.000Z", "description": "Last month, Amazon founder and CEO Jeff Bezos cemented his position as the world's richest person.
