Due to the Covid  19, Jeff Bezos is getting the summit of  "the rich get richer," with the Amazon founder's net worth on Wednesday surpassing the $200 billion mark for the first time.

At the same time, a rally in Tesla shares has pushed CEO Elon Musk's net worth above $100 billion, according to the Bloomberg Billionaire Index, a ranking of the 500 wealthiest people on the globe.

Facebook's Mark Zuckerberg, for instance, also saw his net wealth surpass $100 billion this month.
