Amazon founder Jeff Bezos has a staggering 157 billion net worth. He is the richest person in the entire world. Amazon pulled in $230 billion in revenue and $10 billion in net profit in 2018. When his divorce is finalized, 16% of his stake in Amazon will go to his ex-wife.

Justice's $1.5 billion is due to his stake in the coal industry. He owns the Greenbrier resort as well as his shares in various coal mining expenditures. However, he's been hit with over $10 million court-ordered penalties due to tax evasion.
