Jeffrey Preston "Jeff" Bezos (born January 12, 1964) is an American entrepreneur and investor. He is a technology entrepreneur who has played a role in the growth of e-commerce as the founder and CEO of Amazon.com, an online merchant of books and later of a wide variety of products. Amazon.com became the largest retailer on the World Wide Web and a model for Internet sales.
In 2013, Bezos purchased The Washington Post newspaper. As of December 2015, Bezos's personal wealth is estimated to be US$ 59.3 billion. According to forbes, Jeff is 5th richest man in the world at 2015. In August,2015 The New York Times published a scathing story detailing the high-pressure, long-hour work environment inside the retailer.
After graduating from Princeton in 1986, Bezos worked on Wall Street in the computer science field. Then he worked on building a network for international trade for a company known as Fitel. He next worked at Bankers Trust. Later on he also worked on Internet-enabled business opportunities at D. E. Shaw & Co. Bezos founded Amazon.com in 1994 after making a cross-country drive from New York to Seattle, writing up the Amazon business plan on the way. He initially set up the company in his garage.
In 2000, Bezos founded Blue Origin, a human spaceflight startup company, partially as a result of his fascination with space travel, including an early interest in developing "space hotels, amusement parks, colonies and small cities for 2 million or 3 million people orbiting the Earth." The company proposed a plan for high-speed-drone airspace that would enable flying robots to carry packages to consumers. In September, 2015 Bezos announced that his aerospace company, Blue Origin, would spend over $200 million to build reusable rockets and launch them into orbit from a site at Cape Canaveral by the end of the decade.
