This is not the first time that Bezos has seen his wealth skyrocket. Earlier this year, he went from $74 billion to $189.3 billion - a 39% growth.The 56-year-old multi-billionaire has surpassed the market valuation of many large corporations such as Exxon, Nike and even McDonald's, according to TIME magazine.
