1. With a net worth of $36 billion, MacKenzie Bezos is among the world's 25 richest people.

She currently ranks as the 22nd richest billionaire in the world.

2. This net worth also makes her the fourth-richest woman in the world.

She's also the third-richest woman in the US.



The richest woman in the world the US is Walmart heiress Alice Walton, who has an estimated net worth of $54.4 billion, according to Forbes.

3. Bezos is so rich that an average American spending $1 is similar to Bezos spending $369,989.

The median net worth of an average US household is $97,300. Dividing $36 billion by $97,300 comes to about $369,989.

4. At that rate, buying the typical house in the US would be pocket change for Bezos, costing her less than $1.


The median home value in the US is $247,084.

5. With her net worth, Bezos could buy 151 versions of the most expensive home ever sold in the US.

New York City has the most expensive home ever sold in the US, a $238 million penthouse.

Billionaire hedge-fund manager Ken Griffin purchased the three-floor, 23,000-square-foot penthouse in a skyscraper at 220 Central Park South, reported Business Insider's Katie Warren, citing The Wall Street Journal.

6. Bezos's net worth is the same as the GDP of Malta, Madagascar, and The Maldives — combined.

Malta's GDP is about $16.3 billion, Madagascar's is $13.5 billion, and The Maldives is $6.2 billion.

7. With her $36 billion fortune, Bezos could fund the entire endowment of the second-richest college in the US and have billions to spare.

The University of Texas system has an endowment of $30.8 billion. If MacKenzie funded that, she'd still have over $5 billion left.

8. She could also give every single living person in the US $100 — and still remain a billionaire.

The US population is currently just under 329,492,650, according to the US Census. Giving every American $100 would cost Bezos roughly $32.9 billion. That would leave her with a $3 billion net worth.

9. If Bezos spent $1 million every month, it would take her 3,000 years to spend her entire fortune, according to Business Insider calculations.

At that rate, MacKenzie would be spending $12 million a year. Dividing that by $36 billion equals 3,000.
