Jeff Bezos is understandably a tricky person to get a hold of, yet one YouTuber certainly found that out the hard way when the Amazon founder issued a hilariously savage response when asked if he'd share his phone number.
While you might not need to venture out to his extraordinarily expensive yacht to catch him for a conversation, it makes sense that Amazon Executive Chairman and founder Jeff Bezos certainly values his time.
He's known to have a neuroscience backed rule where he doesn't look at his phone for the first two hours of the day, spending it instead with his family, and certain members of his neighborhood have complained that he's not exactly an active part of the community.
This has all played a part in him becoming one of the wealthiest people in the world though, and the recently released Forbes rich list has Bezos sat in third place with a staggering net worth of $215,000,000,000.

One thing you seemingly can't put a price on though is his phone number, as Jeff Bezos brutally shut down an inquisitive YouTuber when asked if he'd share his contact details.
In a challenge where he asked 100 different celebrities for their phone number, YouTuber 'Airrack' finally landed on Bezos as his final attempt.
He'd already worked his way through huge names like Gordon Ramsay, MrBeast, and Jake Paul, but Bezos might just have been the biggest and most impactful of them all.
Unfortunately for Airrack, the conversation didn't exactly go as he'd hoped.
After introducing himself to the tech mogul, Airrack revealed the purpose of his challenge and then asked the golden question:
"I'm doing something kind of crazy, I'm asking anybody here that I respect for their phone number, is there any chance that would happen?"
In response, Bezos initially stuttered - probably at the boldness of the request - before quickly rebuffing Airrack's attempts.
"No, maybe not," was Bezos' savage reply, which was then shortly followed by a laugh that was described in the captions as "*laughs in $221 billion*."
Many people in the comments found this particular interaction hilarious, with one user detailing that the "Jeff Bezos laughs in $221 billion was hilarious [laughing emojis]."
Another added that Jeff Bezos is "punching the air rn that he missed the chance of having Eric's number," although we're not quite sure that he would end up being that heartbroken over the missed opportunity - even though the video has managed to get over 2.7 million views at the time of writing.
