“#Jeff Bezos retires 739,489 times richer than average American<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

\n

When Jeff Bezos steps down Monday as Amazon\u2019s CEO at age 57, he will carry with him an estimated $197 billion \u2014 a staggering fortune that is 739,489 times the media<\/a>n net worth of an American at age 65.<\/p>\n

That median net worth is $266,400, Business Insider reported<\/a>, citing data from the
Federal Reserve.<\/p>\n

Amazon announced in February that Bezos would step down this year and assume the mantle of executive chairman of the e-commerce giant\u2019s board.<\/p>\n

He is expected to dedicate more time toward initiatives like the Bezos Earth Fund, his Blue Origin spaceship company, The Washington Post and the Amazon Day 1 Fund, CNBC reported<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Bezos received an $81,840 salary and $1.6 million in other compensation from the company last year, according to Business Insider.<\/p>\n

His net worth exploded by $75 billion during 2020 as the COVID-19 pandemic drove sales into the stratosphere on his company\u2019s online marketplace, sending shares skyward. \u00a0<\/p>\n

Bezos, who makes more money every second than the average American worker makes in a week, has drawn criticism for getting richer while thousands of Amazon workers live on food stamps and toil in poor conditions.<\/p>\n

He will be replaced by Andy Jassy, current CEO of Amazon Web Services, the company\u2019s cloud platform.\n <\/p><\/div>\n
