Οι πλουσιότεροι των... πλουσιότερων.
Οι παρακάτω δισεκατομμυριούχοι της τεχνολογίας συνεχίζουν να κυριαρχούν στις υψηλότερες τάξεις των πλουσιότερων ανθρώπων στον κόσμο.
Σε αντίθεση με πολλές βιομηχανίες, οι άνθρωποι αυτοί είναι κυρίως αυτοδημιούργητοι. Μάλιστα, αρκετοί από αυτούς προήλθαν από ταπεινά μέσα και, μέσω της ιδιοφυΐας τους, άλλαξαν τον κόσμο. Ίδρυσαν μερικές από τις μεγαλύτερες εταιρείες στον κόσμο, όπως Amazon, Microsoft, Facebook, Google, μεταξύ άλλων που έχουν γίνει αναπόσπαστο μέρος της καθημερινής μας ζωής.
Παρόλο που πανδημία του κορωνοϊού επηρέασε σε ένα βαθμό τα κέρδη τους, δεν παύουν να έχουν τεράστιες περιουσίες.
Ας δούμε παρακάτω μερικά παραδείγματα.
