Jeff Bezos is now the wealthiest person on the planet with a net worth over $150 billion. The top 1 percent of U.S. families controlled 38.6% of wealth in the U.S. in 2016, compared with 22.8% held by the bottom 90%. Warren Buffet donated $3.4 billion to charity yesterday - many his own family foundations - bringing the total he has donated to $24.5 billion. Because the donations were made in the form of stock, they are now worth over $30 billion. (Bloomberg)
