    Jeff Bezos

    • American entrepreneur Jeff


    Bezos is the founder and
    chief executive officer of
    Amazon.com and owner of
    'The Washington Post.' His
    successful business ventures
    have made him one of the
    richest people in the world.
    Jeff Bezos

    • Jeff Bezos , byname of Jeffrey


    Preston Bezos, (born January
    12, 1964, Albuquerque, New
    Mexico,
    Jeff Bezos

    • While still in high school, Bezos


    developed the Dream Institute, a
    centre that promoted creative
    thinking in young students. After
    graduating (1986) summa cum
    laude from Princeton
    University with degrees in
    electrical engineering
    and computer science, he
    undertook a series of jobs before
    joining the New York investment
    bank D.E. Shaw & Co. in 1990.

    • Soon named senior vice president the


    firm’s youngest Bezos was in charge of
    examining the investment possibilities of
    the Internet. Its enormous potential Web
    usage was growing by more than 2,000
    percent a year sparked his
    entrepreneurial imagination. In 1994 he
    quit D.E. Shaw and moved to Seattle,
    Washington, to open a virtual bookstore.
    Working out of his garage with a handful
    of employees, Bezos began developing
    the software for the site. Named after
    the South American river, Amazon sold
    its first book in July 1995.

    • Amazon quickly became the leader in e-


    commerce. Open 24 hours a day, the site
    was user friendly, encouraging browsers
    to post their own reviews of books and
    offering discounts, personalized
    recommendations, and searches for out
    of print books. In June 1998 it began
    selling CDs, and later that year it added
    videos. In 1999 Bezos added auctions to
    the site and invested in other virtual
    stores. The success of Amazon
    encouraged other retailers, including
    major book chains, to establish online
    stores.

    • As more companies battled for Internet dollars, Bezos
    saw the need to diversify, and by 2005 Amazon offered
    a vast array of products, including consumer electronics,
    apparel, and hardware. Amazon diversified even further
    in 2006 by introducing Amazon Web Services (AWS),
    a cloud-computing service that eventually became the
    largest such service in the world. In late 2007 Amazon
    released a new handheld reading device called
    the Kindle, a digital book reader with wireless Internet
    connectivity, enabling customers to purchase,
    download, read, and store a vast selection of books on
    demand. Amazon announced in 2010 that sales of
    Kindle books had surpassed those of hardcover books.
    That same year Amazon moved into making its own
    television shows and movies with its Amazon Studios
    division. Amazon’s yearly net sales increased from
    $510,000 in 1995 to some $600 million in 1998 and
    from more than $19.1 billion in 2008 to almost $233
    billion in 2018. About half of the company’s operating
    income in 2018 was derived from AWS.
