What Is Jeff Bezos Net Worth?
His wealth comes primarily from his large stake in the company he founded, Amazon.
Bezos also owns Blue Origin, a space exploration company, as well as media giant The Washington Post.
He has also privately invested in massive companies such as Uber, Workday, Nextdoor, Airbnb and more.
And his real estate portfolio holds around $500 million in property as of mid-2024, perArchitectural Digest.
That is still just a small fraction of his overall net worth.
How Much Would you oughta Make per Year To Be as Rich as Jeff Bezos?
Now, this is just based on your savings rate.
That would net you $247.5 billion just shy of Bezos $250 billion net worth.
If youre working a regular 40-hour workweek full time, thats about 2,080 hours worked per year.
Youd have to earn around $3,365,385 per hour to make $7 billion per year for 40 years!
And thats just to retire as rich as Bezos is right now!
Is It Possible?
Of course, none of these figures include investing any money or compounding.
If you invested part of what you earned and compounded the money, it would grow more quickly.
That shouldnt stop you from trying, though.
A mega-yacht may not be in your future but financial freedom can be.
