Jeff Bezos was already the world's richest man. Now his net worth has skyrocketed once again, setting another new record.

The Amazon CEO's wealth reached the estimated US $202 billion, according to the Bloomberg Billionaires index, as the company's shares soared.

That's up about $87 billion since January.

Bezos, who founded Amazon in 1994, keeps breaking records with his wealth.

In 2017, he became the richest person on the planet. And last month, his estimated net worth jumped to almost $172 billion, marking a new global high.
