Three of the world’s richest people have achieved staggering new levels of personal wealth.

The net worth of Amazon.com Inc founder Jeff Bezos eclipsed US$200bil (RM834.3bil) on Aug 26 as shares of the e-commerce giant climbed to a record. The move simultaneously pushed his ex-wife MacKenzie Scott, 50, to the brink of becoming the world’s richest woman, just behind L’Oreal SA heiress Francoise Bettencourt Meyers.
