The tech company Samsung has released its earning figures of Q2, and to much surprise the profit of the company has soared by 72 percent, defying all the assumptions which the analysts predicted. Not only the profit of the company has increased but the company’s chief Lee has also become 45th richest individual on the planet.

Previously, Lee was placed at 68th position in world’s richest person list. MR. Lee has achieved this milestone due to company’s profit which it earned in Q2. Samsung has made $12.1 billion profit on a roughly $52 billion revenue. Similarly, the Samsung chief is now valued at $18.5 billion. The business tycoon owns almost $12.6 billion worth shares in Samsung group.

It is worth mentioning here, that the company despite being in a difficult position with regards to the Note 7‘s battery combustion fiasco, has gained profit, surprising the critics. Moreover, it is also being anticipated that for the first time in Samsung’s history the company might achieve higher profit than its arch rival Apple.
