杰夫·贝索斯单日资产增百亿
Amazon founder Jeff Bezos became $13bn (10bn pounds) richer in a single day on Monday after shares in his company surged nearly 8%.
周一,亚马逊股价暴涨约8%,其创始人杰夫·贝索斯仅在一天内身家就增加了130亿美元(100亿英镑)。Already the world's richest man by a huge margin, Bezos is now estimated to be worth $189.3bn (148bn pounds).
贝索斯原本就是世界首富,身家远超他人。据估计,目前贝索斯的资产为1893亿美元(1480亿英镑)。His fortune has ballooned $74bn (58bn pounds) this year alone, according to Bloomberg, with Amazon shares up more than 70% in 2020.
据《彭博社》消息,仅今年一年,他的资产就暴增了740亿美元(580亿英镑),2020年亚马逊股票涨幅超过70%。
The daily jump in the 56-year-old's wealth is the biggest ever recorded by Bloomberg's billionaire tracker.
在彭博亿万富翁追踪数据记录中,这位56岁的富豪单日财富涨幅最大。The all-encompassing web giant has reaped the benefit of the coronavirus lockdown as people increasingly avoid shops and buy online.
这家无所不卖的网络巨头公司在疫情期间赚得盆满钵满,因为人们越来越不愿意去实体店了,都选择网上购物。Bezos famously started his company in his garage in the mid-1990s, rapidly expanding from selling books to establish an online juggernaut that spans the world.
众所周知,上世纪90年代中期,贝索斯在车库里开始创业,最初卖书,很快发展成为网络巨头,业务遍布全球。His personal wealth now exceeds the value of huge multinational companies and is roughly on par with the GDP of Iraq - and only about $14bn (11bn pounds) behind Greece.
现在他的个人财富超过了一些大型跨国公司的市值,与伊拉克的国内生产总值相当,仅比希腊少140亿美元(110亿英镑)。
