February 9, Fineko/abc.az. Jeff Bezos has fallen to the 5th place in the Forbes ranking due to the fall in Amazon shares.

ABC.AZ informs that according to Bild, company's securities declined more than by 9%, investors were confused by the weak profit forecast and the growth of future expenses.

The publication found out that the fortune of Amazon founder Jeff Bezos decreased by $16 billion in a day, to $218.9 billion. In the Forbes list, he was surpassed by Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg, while Elon Musk still holds the 1st place.

Additional concern for the market was caused by company's plans to invest approx. $200 billion next year. Analysts attribute the sale primarily to the rising costs of AI development.
