I feel sorry for her. They recommend you spend about 3 months worth of salary on an engagement ring, by my calcs, she'll have to carry a 4 1/2lb rock on her finger. lol

How much Jeff Bezos earns per day?
The third on the list of Forbes real-time billionaire index, Amazon chairman Jeff Bezos daily income is $0.468 billion, considering his current year net worth of $171 billion.
So, Jeffery Preston Bezos (thats Jeffs full name) earns almost half a billion US dollars daily.

How much Jeff Bezos Earns Per Second?
Based on his current year net worth by Forbes, the tech-billionaire Jeff Bezos earns $0.005 million or $5.422 thousand per second.
The number may appear small to you compared to the last number we grappled with, but so is the amount of time Jeff Bezos earns it in.
Imagine if only 2 seconds had passed since you read his per-second income, he would have earned $10 thousand by this time!

I can see why people might be confused, especially people who don't have trust funds.

(95,270 posts)10. You don't need to have a trust fund to make money from money...
...I don't have one, and never inherited anything. Neither does my wife.
However, the earnings from money (capital gains, dividends and interest) are all taxable annually.
