Bill Gates, Microsoft founder and philanthropist, has again, reclaimed the position of the world’s richest person, according to the Bloomberg Billionaires Index.
Gates reportedly has a net-worth of $110 billion.
He replaces Jeff Bezos, Amazon founder, at the top spot after Microsoft’s shares went up nearly 48 percent this year.
Microsoft’s success this year has been helped by winning a US Pentagon $10 billion cloud-computing contract in October.
It is the first time in over two years Gates has held the top spot although in October he briefly topped Bezos after Amazon reported a profit drop.
