   Cuckold Jeff Bezos loses $21bn as Amazon

   Jeff Bezos saw more than $21bn (£17bn) wiped off his net worth on Friday   
   after Amazon’s shares suffered their biggest fall since 2014.   
      
   The online retail behemoth fell by more than 13pc as investors reacted to   
   the company posting its weakest growth in two decades and warning of a   
   further slowdown.   
      
   The drop knocked over $178bn off Amazon’s value as shares fell to their   
   lowest level for almost two years.   
      
   Mr Bezos, Amazon’s founder and executive chairman, has a 9.8pc stake in   
   the company that makes him the world’s second richest man after Elon Musk.   
      
   Friday’s fall means he has now lost around $40bn this year alone, leaving   
   him with a fortune of $152bn. Amazon shares have been hit by falling   
   confidence in tech stocks and a slowdown in online shopping as consumers   
   emerge from the pandemic.   
      
   Amazon said on Thursday night that revenues had climbed by just 7pc in the   
   first three months of the year, its most sluggish growth since October   
   2001.   
      
   The company also recorded its first quarterly loss since 2015 as it took a   
   multi-billion dollar writedown on its stake in Rivian, the electric car   
   company.   
      
   Profitability was also hit by rising inflation in wages, fuel prices and   
   shipping costs.   
      
   Mr Bezos’ stake in Amazon makes up the vast majority of his net worth,   
   with his stake in space company Blue Origin and other investments making   
   up the remainder.   
      
   Investors reacted most strongly to Amazon’s forecast that revenues would   
   climb by between 3pc and 7pc in the coming quarter, a further slowdown.   
      
   Mr Bezos has put billions of his personal wealth into Blue Origin in an   
   attempt to rival Elon Musk’s SpaceX. Mr Musk surpassed Mr Bezos as the   
   world’s richest man last year as his electric car company Tesla soared to   
   a $1 trillion valuation.   
      
   Mr Bezos has also pledged to put billions into a fund to work on projects   
   battling climate change.
