Tracking the most successful high-fliers globally, Forbes has released a new edition of 2017. The business periodical has compiled various ratings to the delight of its curious readers. One of such ratings fairly deserves attention as its heroes are the owners of the most rapidly growing capital. According to Forbes, the leader on the podium is Jeff Bezos, a founder of the Amazon online retailer.
By the way, Amazon’s chief briefly topped Forbes’ ranks of the world’s richest in October, having outperformed Bill Gates. Interestingly, Jeff Bezos enjoyed the biggest net worth for almost 24 hours after a surge in the value of Amazon’s shares. Then, a bounce alternated with a fall and Bill Gates again recovered his leadership. This year, a rapid rally of Amazon’s shares has brought the magnate revenue of $33.8 billion. Financial records of the retail giant for the 3d quarter were beyond market expectations and positive forecasts. The second rank in terms of capital growth is given to Xu Jiayin, a founder of Evergrande Group which is China’s second-largest property developer. Following a release of financial records for the 1st half of 2017, the company’s shares skyrocketed by 400% that swelled the tycoon’s net worth by $27.4 billion. From Forbes’ viewpoint, Bernard Arnault is recognized as the third in the rating. He is the CEO and chairman of Louis Vuitton Moët Hennessy, the world’s largest luxury goods company. His fortune has expanded by $23.6 billion this year.
