Today at Worldcelebz, the celebrity we are focusing on today is no other person other the man known to be the richest man in the world; Jeff Bezos.

Jeff is known for his massive success with Amazon but do you know he has other investments too as well? And of course they are of massive success too as well.

Therefore we are today going to have a look at some of the investments of the man believed to be valued at more than $200 billion and how far he has come.

It is believed Bezos first became a millionaire in 1997 after raising $54 million through Amazon’s initial public offering (IPO).

He was first included on the Forbes World’s Billionaires list in 1999 with a registered net worth of $10.1 billion. … From 2005 to 2007, he quadrupled his net worth to $8.7 billion.

And the rest they say is history. Born on January 24, 1964, the 57 year old holds other investments and that is where our focus is on for today.

1. Domo

With his $100 million investment, the company which specializes in data analyzes and management from one’s phone, the company is valued a little over $2 billion and is gradually taking shape as well.

2. Grail

His love for healthcare also made him invest in this health company which seeks to research the more on cancers before it spreads across the body.

It is believe his investment is worth $100 million as well. The company has so far received funding of close to $1.6 billion and hopes to break the ground with time. They are waiting for the Eureka moment.

3.Airbnb

I think the most successful of all his investments is Airbnb which is a company now valued at more than$30 billion and reported a revenue of $2.6 billion in 2017.

The accommodation market place which makes rentals very easy is believed to have more than 4,000 workers and with more than 5 million rooms available on their platform.
