Building a retirement portfolio worth $1 million is achievable by consistently adding money to a diversified stock portfolio. With a $50,000 portfolio and $200 monthly contributions for 30 years at a 10% annual return, reaching $1 million is feasible.

Investing $1,000 in tech giants like Amazon (NASDAQ: AMZN) and Alphabet (NASDAQ: GOOG) could help grow your portfolio to over $1 million by retirement. Amazon’s dominance in e-commerce and cloud computing, along with Alphabet’s AI infrastructure, offer potential for long-term returns.

Amazon’s North American retail sales grew 8%, while international sales grew 8% as well, with AWS growing by 17%. With a market cap of $2.2 trillion, Amazon’s growth in e-commerce and cloud computing can provide strong returns for investors over the long term.

Alphabet, with Google Search, Google Cloud, YouTube, Waymo, and Google DeepMind, is positioned for growth despite competition concerns. Google Search revenue reached $50.7 billion last quarter, and Google Cloud is set to generate over $100 billion annually within five years, making Alphabet a solid long-term investment.

Consider investing in Amazon and other top stocks to maximize returns.
