[f500link]Amazon[/f500link] CEO Jeff Bezos was, briefly, the richest man in the world late last month.

Due to a surge in Amazon stock prices, Bezos's net worth rose to over $90 million and surpassed that of Bill Gates. But then Amazon shares retreated, dropping Bezos back into second place.

Even so, through the first half of 2017, no one made more money than Bezos, who saw his net worth increase by $21 billion. But now Bezos is in second place in that elite competition as well.
