Big news! Amazon has 112 million members in the United States, and Bezos lost the title of the richest man

On January 19, Forbes' latest list of the world's richest people showed that Amazon founder and CEO Jeff Bezos slipped to second place.

The list shows that Bernard Arnault, president and CEO of French luxury giant LVMH, replaced Bezos at the top of the list and became the new world's richest man. Bezos fell to second place this time, perhaps because Amazon's stock fell 0.7%. In the end, he ranked second on the list with a total wealth of US$115.6 billion. The third, fourth and fifth places on the list are Microsoft founder Bill Gates, "stock god" Warren Buffett, and Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg.

According to data from Consumer Intelligence Research Partners (CIRP), as of the end of 2019, Amazon Prime membership had 112 million users in the United States.

It is reported that at the end of 2018, the number was still around 100 million, and at the end of 2015, the number was only 50 million. According to the survey, the way and reason why people use Prime membership have changed. An industry observer also said that Prime membership service has become one of the reasons why American consumers are increasingly fond of shopping online.

On January 19, Amazon announced last Saturday that it will cooperate with thousands of community stores across India to launch storage and delivery of online order goods.

According to reports, India's cities, towns and villages are dotted with a large number of neighborhood stores. Although retail giants have invested billions in the industry, these neighborhood stores are still thriving. Locally, these stores are called kirana.

Amazon said it was a win-win situation for all parties, and Amazon founder Jeff Bezos said on social media that it was convenient for customers while also providing community store owners with an opportunity to earn extra income.
