Mr Bezos owns 18% of Amazon's shares, which rose 2% in trading on Thursday. Forbes estimated his fortune to be $65.3bn.

BBC新聞 – 強(qiáng)勁的盈利增長(zhǎng)和公司股價(jià)的提升使亞馬遜創(chuàng)始人杰夫.貝索斯成了世界第三大富豪，福布斯的數(shù)據(jù)顯示。貝索斯擁有亞馬遜18%的股份，亞馬遜股價(jià)周二交易中上漲2%。福布斯估計(jì)貝索斯的身價(jià)在653億美元。

Amazon's revenue beat analysts' expectations, climbing 31% from last year to $30.4bn in the second quarter. Profit for the e-commerce giant was $857m, compared with $92m in 2015.

亞馬遜的收入超出分析師的預(yù)期, 比去年攀升31%至今年第二季度的304億美元。這家電子商務(wù)巨頭贏利8.57億美元，而2015年的贏利才9200萬(wàn)美元。

According to Forbes estimates, Mr Bezos's fortune is only surpassed by Microsoft founder Bill Gates, worth $78bn, and the $73.1bn fortune of Zara founder Amancio Ortega.

根據(jù)福布斯估算，貝索斯的財(cái)富僅次于身價(jià)780億美元的微軟創(chuàng)始人比爾蓋茨，以及Zara創(chuàng)始人阿曼西奧.奧爾特加731億美元的財(cái)富。

Amazon had developed a reputation for announcing little or no profit each quarter, but appeared to hit a turning point last year and has seen improving earnings since. Amazon shares have spiked 50% since February.

亞馬遜一向有每季度宣布利潤(rùn)微薄或無(wú)贏利的名聲，但去年似乎迎來(lái)了轉(zhuǎn)折點(diǎn)，自那以后收益得到了改善。亞馬遜股價(jià)自二月份以來(lái)飆升50%。

提供包括繳年費(fèi)免運(yùn)費(fèi)等額外服務(wù)的亞馬遜金牌會(huì)員計(jì)劃在全球取得驚人增長(zhǎng)。6月份，亞馬遜在印度推出金牌會(huì)員計(jì)劃，以利用該國(guó)廣大的消費(fèi)市場(chǎng)。

Amazon has boosted Prime membership by improving its video streaming offerings, an area in which it competes with Netflix.

亞馬遜通過(guò)改進(jìn)其流媒體視頻服務(wù)促進(jìn)了金牌會(huì)員計(jì)劃。流媒體視頻服務(wù)是亞馬遜與網(wǎng)飛公司競(jìng)爭(zhēng)的領(lǐng)域。

Prime Day, Amazon's annual promotional shopping festival earlier this month, was the company's largest ever sales day.

本月初亞馬遜的年度購(gòu)物促銷節(jié)“黃金日”是公司有史以來(lái)銷量最大的一天。
