Shares of Amazon rose enough to make Jeff Bezos worth an estimated $100.3 billion:

The Amazon.com Inc. founder's fortune is up $2.4 billion to $100.3 billion, as the online retailer's shares jumped more than 2 percent on optimism for Black Friday sales. Online purchases for the day are up 18.4 percent over last year, according to data from Adobe Analytics, and investors are betting the company will take an outsized share of online spending over the gifting season.

The $100 billion milestone makes Bezos, 53, the first billionaire to build a 12-figure net worth since 1999, when Microsoft Corp. co-founder Bill Gates hit the mark.

Meanwhile, Amazon merchants are scrambling to cheat each other as they peck at Bezos's scraps. Even (e-)books aren't safe.

      McShits arent that bad. You want heinous bathroom visits? White Castle. In fact, the best part about White Castle? You get to enjoy the your meal twice! Your farts smell just like the meal you ate so you can relive every waking moment of your meal every time you let one rip.
