Question: who is the richest person in the world list 2019?
Answer: Jeff Bezos is the world's wealthiest person for the third year in a row, despite giving $36 billion worth of his Amazon stock to his ex-wife MacKenzie Bezos as part of their divorce settlement last summer. He's worth $113 billion, buoyed by a 15% rise in Amazon's shares since our 2019 list.
