This figure would be even higher if it weren’t for the fact that he lost almost 70 billion this year, however, he shouldn’t be worried given his e-business is number one in sales.

He has bought several luxury homes in New York, Los Angeles and Hawaii, a $500 million yacht is under construction in the Netherlands and he is named as one of the candidates to buy the NFL’s Washington Commanders.

He recently dedicated billions of dollars to charity as did his ex-wife, who has donated more than $12 billion to non-profits since they separated in 2019.
