Amazon first bypassed Microsoft on capitalization
Amazon first overtook Microsoft on capitalization. This is evidenced by NASDAQ exchange data.
The cost of Amazon shares increased to $ 1451 per paper, the capitalization thus amounted to $ 702.46 billion. At the same time, Microsoft shares were traded at a price of $ 90.8, and capitalization was estimated at $ 699.2 billion.
Amazon thus took the third line in the ranking of the most expensive companies in the world in capitalization. The first place in the ranking is occupied by Apple ($ 849 billion), and the second - Alphabet ($ 744.7 billion).
Forbes previously recognized the founder of Amazon Jeff Bezos by the most successful entrepreneur in 2017. His condition grew faster than the rest of the billionaires. Over the year, Bezos capital increased by $ 33.8 billion to $ 98.6 billion.
In the Forbes 400 rating, Bezos occupies the second line - it is inferior to the founder of Microsoft to Bill Gates. In 2017, Bezos, however, has been bypassing Gates more than once and became the richest businessman in the world.
