While Jeff Bezos has a net worth of almost $190 billion dollars, the Amazon founder apparently lives quite a 'normal' life.
Amazon was created by Bezos in 1994 and he was previously laughed at after admitting that the site wasn't making any profit.
But Bezos, 60, was the one to have the last laugh as Amazon currently has a market worth over a trillion - yes, trillion - dollars.

I'm not sure about you but if I had a net worth like Bezos' I'd want to live a very lavish lifestyle, but his wife-to-be Lauren Sanchez insists that they live a 'normal' life.
"Our lives are pretty normal," she told Vogue last year. "Daily life mostly revolves around our kids."
Bezos shares four children with his ex-wife MacKenzie Scott, while Sanchez had two kids with her former husband Patrick Whitesell and a son with her ex partner Tony Gonzalez.
According to Sanchez's eldest child Nikko, 23, it's hard to beat Bezos at chess.
He added to Vogue of their blended families: "Everyone really just gets along. There’s no real alliances. It’s kind of boring in that way."
Sharing more details on their seemingly 'normal' day-to-day lives, Sanchez said that they have a pact that whoever wakes up first in the morning has to make the coffee.
The couple also workout together, with Sanchez labeling her beau as a 'monster in the gym'.
As another way of painting the perfect picture, the 54-year-old said that the family eat together every night without fail - that's after her kids' piano and tutoring lessons, that is.
While some of Sanchez's kids still live at home, all of Bezos' children are at college.
The article sparked some backlash as some suggested that the Amazon founder was 'cosplaying as a working class stiff'.
Sharing a snap from Sanchez and Bezos' Vogue photoshoot they said: "America is amazing. A man who was once the richest person alive still feels the urge to cosplay as a working class stiff. Can you imagine, like, a Saudi oil sheikh or a Russian oligarch dressing up for a photoshoot as a humble ranch hand? Incredible."
"It’s funny how you can tell they just started watching Yellowstone," quipped someone else of their country-themed shoot.
Others on Reddit noted that it's quite the luxury to be able to host a family dinner on a daily basis.
Someone raged: "You know what got me f**ked up reading that article? That they have the luxury of family dinner every night together and home cooked meals. [...] A lot of families are lucky to have one day off per week all together."
