Bezos still thriving after costly divorce

The world’s wealthiest man alive is 57-year-old Jeff Bezos, whose original official name is Jeffrey Preston Jorgensen. Born when both his mom and dad were still teenagers, he dropped the name Jorgensen and picked up his stepfather’s surname ‘Bezos’ after the mother divorced and remarried. He is now the owner of Amazon - a powerful online shopping platform.

According to many wealth measuring authorities like Forbes Magazine, Bezos is the wealthiest individual in the world. This man, whose fame cuts across the world, is an American citizen whose entrepreneurship is currently unequalled.
