Amazon’s Jeff Bezos becomes 1st person-ever worth $200 billion

A booming business makes Jeff Bezos a billionaire.

But on Wednesday, he officially clinched a title some can only dream of having – the world’s first-ever person to amass a $200 billion fortune, according to Forbes.

The Amazon founder has a cool $90 billion more than the second richest person – Bill Gates, who is sitting on a mere $116.1 billion.

Get this – Bezos would be even richer had he not gone through the most expensive divorce settlement ever lats year.

He gave his ex-wife, Mackenzie Bezos, a 25% stake in Amazon, now worth a whopping $63 billion.

LAKE CHARLES, La. (AP) – Hurricane Laura pounded the Gulf Coast with ferocious wind and torrential rain and unleashed a wall of seawater that could push 40 miles inland as the Category 4 storm roared ashore Thursday in Louisiana near the Texas border. At least one person was killed.

Laura battered a tall building in Lake Charles, blowing out windows as glass and debris flew to the ground. Police spotted a floating casino that came unmoored and hit a bridge. But hours after the hurricane made landfall, the wind and rain were still blowing too hard for authorities to check for survivors.

LAS VEGAS (KLAS) — A Henderson man is facing charges after he allegedly obtained around $500,000 and then laundered the funds through friends and family to buy a home.

Brandon Casutt, 49, fraudently obtained the money from the Paycheck Protection Program and the Economic Injury Disaster funds and used it to buy a $400,000 home in Henderson in June that he and his family moved into, according to the Department of Justice.
