Jeff Bezos, the founder of Amazon and one of the world's richest individuals, is reportedly earning a base annual salary of $81,400 (£64,000 approx).
According to Unilad, this figure has remained unchanged since the late 1990s and is said to be lower than the average construction worker's pay in the United States. The Amazon executive chairman, who stepped down as chief executive in 2021, continues to hold an estimated eight per cent stake in the company, now worth around $225 billion (£177 billion approx), according to financial reporting.
