Forbes magazine's American branch names the most successful billionairesfor which 2015 was remembered not by sanctions and import substitution, but by the increase in the share price of their companies.

Here are five of the favorites of business fortune who have managed to increase their fortune by several billion dollars.

5. Michael Bloomberg

The top 5 of the most successful rich men of 2015 are opened by the owner of TV channels, radio stations, and a lot of ... no, Bloomberg has no steamboats, but there is a global computer network of financial news. And together they brought a modest billionaire 5.5 billion dollars. Less than the other participants in the rating, but also more than enough to celebrate the year of the Red Monkey so that there is something to remember the remaining 364 days.

4. Sergey Brin

Thanks to this Internet entrepreneur and scientist, as well as his friend Larry Page, we can send each other “google” to find the answer to any question. The Google search engine has become for many people as integral part of life as breakfast. In 2015, Brin became richer by 8.9 billion. Now he controls Google X, a laboratory created to flood the world with fantastic developments such as self-driving cars, Google Glass and a trained neural network.

3. Larry Page

In 2015, the creators of Google Inc. announced a change in the structure of their business. They created the Alphabet holding, which CEO became Page. The new structure includes several companies, including Google, and its own laboratory, Google X, which is engaged in unusual projects, such as drones for the delivery of goods. The news about the new project was welcomed by investors, and in August Google shares rose 4.3%. In 2015, Page earned $ 9.2 billion and became one of the most influential people of 2015.

2. Mark Zuckerberg

In 2005, Facebook celebrated its first birthday. Then the company was also called TheFacebook and Zuckerberg offered its popular MySpace social network for 75 million. MySpace CEO Chris DeWulf refused the deal. In 2006, Zuckerberg again made an offer to MySpace, adding a zero to the amount. And again he was refused. And in 2015, the creator of the Lyceum Book earned $ 11.2 million and could buy the former main competitor himself.

1. Jeff Bezos

It was a very good year for Amazon. So successful that the head of this company led the rating of the most successful dollar billionaires. According to Forbes, Bezos managed to earn $ 29.5 billion over the year and entered the top 5 richest people in the world (a total fortune of $ 58.4 billion), and the top 3 richest IT businessmen on the planet.

For comparison:

  • The GDP of Burkina Faso, an African country with a population of about 18.4 million people in 2014 amounted to 29.3 billion dollars according to the IMF.
  • The GDP of Zimbabwe, in which 13 million people live, is $ 27.1 billion (for 2014).

Yes there Zimbabwe, the head of Amazon this year earned enough to buy US presidential candidate Donald Trump 7 times if Forbes correctly calculated the net worth of the shocking businessman’s assets ($ 4.1 billion). And launch it into space, as Bezos suggested on his blog on Twitter.
