THE FULL BIOGRAPHY OF JEFF BEZOS; FOUNDER/CEO OF AMAZON

BY JOHNSON OKUNADE

Jeffrey Preston Bezos (Popularly called Jeff Bezos), was born January 12, 1964, Albuquerque, New Mexico. He was born to Jacqueline Gise and Ted Jorgensen who were both teenagers at the time of his birth. The couple married soon after their child had been born but following some financial troubles and neglect by Jorgensen, the marriage ended in divorce after just seventeen months.

 By the age of 4, following his mother’s second marriage to Mike Bezos, Jeff began to go by his stepfather’s last name, Bezos as he and his father were no longer in contact.  He is the topmost American entrepreneur who played a key role in the growth of e-commerce as the founder and chief executive officer of Amazon.com, Inc., an online merchant of books and later of a wide variety of products. Under his guidance, Amazon became the largest retailer on the World Wide Web and the model for Internet sales.

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.

Being the first of its kind, 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, he was the pace-setter!

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 $136 billion in 2016.

Aside from Amazon, Bezos also founded a spaceflight company, Blue Origin, in 2000. Blue Origin bought a launch site in Texas soon thereafter and planned to introduce a crewed suborbital spacecraft, New Shepard, in 2018 and an orbital launch vehicle, New Glenn, in 2020. Bezos bought The Washington Post and affiliated publications for $250 million in 2013. He’s also the owner of alexa; the best and most used ranking platform for web owners.

Jeff Bezos married MacKenzie Tuttle in 1993. He met her when he joined the investment firm D.E. Shaw. They live in Seattle with their four children, and are increasingly involved in philanthropic activities. Bezos is an advocate for the legalization of same-sex marriage, is said to be a Christian by religion but his specific denomination is unknown. This is because the billionaire philanthropist has always insisted that he respects all religions and does not try to dominate others on the matter.

Jeff Bezos announced via his twitter account; @jeffbezos on 9th of January 2019 that they are getting divorced.
