Envision a world where attending Princeton University costs you about two quarters and staying in one of the most luxurious hotels in Dubai for a week would cost less than a nickel. That's the reality for the Amazon CEO and many of his rich counterparts, relatively speaking.
On Thursday, Jeff Bezos announced his new $2 billion "Day One Fund" to create preschools and help homeless families. At a net worth of about $164 billion, according to Bloomberg, Bezos is the wealthiest person on the planet. The average American's median household total wealth is $97,300, according to the Federal Reserve 2016 data (latest available).
