Tim Cook has joined one of the most elite clubs for CEOs who didn't actually found the companies they run: his net worth has eclipsed $1 billion.

The world's richest person is getting richer, even in a pandemic, and perhaps because of it.

Last week was an expensive one for most investors, even for billionaires. The combined fortunes of the world's 500 richest people fell by $444 billion as the coronavirus continued to spread -- and spread fear -- rattling equity markets worldwide.

Larry Page and Sergey Brin just got a $1.7 billion retirement gift from investors. The Google co-founders added more than $800 million each to their net worth as of 10 am in New York, after the firm's shares rose 1.5 percent.

Elon Musk says he doesn't have a lot of cash. His wealth came up in the second day of his testimony before a federal jury in Los Angeles, where the Tesla and SpaceX chief executive is on trial over a tweet in which he referred to a British cave expert as a "pedo guy.”

Warren Buffett said Monday he plans to donate $3.6 billion of Berkshire Hathaway stock to five charities - one of his largest gifts ever - while Walmart heir Jim Walton gave away $1.2 billion of the retailer's shares last week.

Elon Musk saw $1.1 billion wiped from his net worth in the first two minutes of New York trading as Tesla Inc shares sank as much as 11 percent.

Amazon.com founder Jeff Bezos and his wife MacKenzie are divorcing after a relationship that started at a New York hedge fund and is ending a little more than a year after he became the world's richest person.

SoftBank's $20 million bet on Alibaba has returned about 720,000 percent since 2000, according to calculations by Bloomberg.

The Amazon.com founder's net worth broke $150 billion in New York on Monday morning, according to the Bloomberg Billionaires Index.

Jeff Bezos is the richest person in modern history.
