Jeff Bezos has leapfrogged Bill Gates again for the title of world’s
richest billionaire. But they’re both having a pretty good day.
杰夫·贝佐斯再度超越比尔·盖茨，成为世上最为富有的亿万富翁。但是，他俩过得很好。
Amazon stock jumped 13.5% on Friday after the company turned in another
incredible earnings report -- more than a quarter-billion dollars in profit in
three months.
周五，亚马逊股票上涨了13.5%，此前该公司又上交了一份令人难以置信的收益报告——三个月内的利润超过2.5亿美元。
Bezos owned nearly 80 million shares in Amazon as of August, according to
the most recent available data from FactSet. He made more than $10 billion from
the one-day stock surge and is now worth well over $90 billion.
根据FactSet最近数据，截止8月，贝佐斯在亚马逊拥有近8000万股份。他从(周五)这一天的股票大涨中赚了100多亿美元，现在身价超过900亿美元。
At the end of trading on Thursday, Gates occupied the top spot in the
Bloomberg Billionaires Index, with a net worth of $88 billion. Bezos had $83.5
billion, and his big day on Friday was more than enough to close the gap.
在周四交易结束时，盖茨在彭博亿万富翁指数上占据榜首，净资产880亿美元。贝佐斯有835亿美元，他周五的重要日子足以弥补这一差距。
But Gates also got a boost as Microsoft stock rose 7%. Gates owned 103
million shares as of September, according to FactSet. Microsoft stock climbed
about $6 a share, so Gates added almost $600 million to his personal wealth.
但是，盖茨也有所提升，微软股票上涨了7%。根据FactSet，截止9月，盖茨拥有1.03亿股份。微软股票上涨了约6美元每股，所以盖茨的个人财富增加了近6亿美元。
Bezos briefly dethroned Gates once before, on July 27, when his net worth
topped $90 billion because of a temporary surge in Amazon stock.
贝佐斯曾暂时取代过盖茨一次，7月27日，当时由于亚马逊股票临时大涨，他的净资产到了900亿美元。 |
