Jeff Bezos net worth: where his $361 billion sits as Blue Origin plans 2,000 Texas jobs

Jeff Bezos’s net worth was $361 billion, about ₹34.4 lakh crore, on 1 November 2026, second only to Elon Musk, Forbes reported. A growing share of it sits in Blue Origin, the space company he owns, which is turning an empty building in Hutto, Texas, into a $650 million satellite factory with up to 2,000 jobs. 12

What happened in Texas

Blue Origin named Hutto, near Austin, as the home of a 1.3 million square foot manufacturing campus called Constellation Park, Fox 7 Austin reported on 8 October 2026. It will build hardware for TeraWave, a satellite communications network offering up to 6 terabits per second, expand production of its Quartz ground antennas and make satellite parts such as solar arrays and avionics. The jobs will be created over 10 years. 2

“Texas has long understood what it takes to lead in space exploration,” Blue Origin chief executive Dave Limp said. City leaders expect the company to move into the existing building within a year, and Hutto’s mayor said the deal alone raises the city’s taxable value by almost 20%, CBS Austin reported. 23

Where Jeff Bezos’s net worth sits

Bezos’s fortune rests on four main holdings. He owns about 8% of Amazon, which he founded and chairs, and more than 93% of Blue Origin. He is also co-CEO of Project Prometheus, an AI start-up, where Forbes estimates he owns about 20%. The rest is cash from more than $49 billion of past Amazon share sales, The Washington Post and other assets.

Blue Origin’s weight in that mix has grown. It raised about $10 billion this year, its first outside money, which we covered in Blue Origin’s $10 billion raise. Bezos became only the fourth person ever worth more than $300 billion in September, Forbes said. 1

What happens next

Blue Origin is private, so Bezos’s stake in it is valued from funding rounds rather than a daily share price; any new round or a public listing would move his net worth sharply. For more space founders, see the richest people in space and aerospace and the Jeff Bezos profile.
