Jeff Benoz is the founder of Amazon and world’s second-richest person. Jeff Bezos is expected to earn around USD 8 million (approximately Rs 67.2 crore) per hour, according to a report by Inc.com.
Despite these magnificent figures, Bezos has not increased his salary, either while serving as Amazon’s CEO or after stepping down. The reason is simple—he earns a massive amount from his 10 percent stake in Amazon, making a higher salary unnecessary.
Interestingly, Bezos’s annual salary is just USD 80,000 (approximately Rs 67 lakh). This means his yearly earnings from salary are 100 times less than what he makes in just one hour.

Bezos who is the founded Amazon was born on January 12, 1964. Bezos started his company in a Seattle garage on July 5, 1994 which later turned it into the world’s largest online retailer.
