JEFF BEZOS

 Hello everyone welcome back to my blog!  

In my this blog I am going to talk about very informative thing, yes I am going to talk about the richest person of the world, the founder of amazon, one and only JEFF BEZOS.

So Jeff Bezos is an American billionaire and founder of amazon, let's know about his successful story and let's get inspired by his story. 

First let's know about his EARLY LIFE

Bezos was born Jeffrey Preston Jorgensen in Albuquerque, New Mexico, on January 12, 1964, the son of Jacklyn (née Gise) and Ted Jorgensen.At the time of his birth, his mother was a 17-year-old high school student and his father was a bike shop owner.After his parents divorced, his mother married Cuban immigrant Miguel "Mike" Bezos in April 1968.Shortly after the wedding, Mike adopted four-year-old Jorgensen, whose surname was then changed to Bezos. He often displayed scientific interests and technological proficiency.

While Bezos was in high school, he worked at McDonald's as a short-order line cook during the breakfast shift. He attended the Student Science Training Program at the University of Florida. He was high school valedictorian, a National Merit Scholar,and a Silver Knight Award winner in 1982.

Now let's know about his BUSINESS CAREER

After Bezos graduated from Princeton University in 1986, he was offered jobs at Intel, Bell Labs, and Andersen Consulting, among others.He first worked at Fitel, a fintech telecommunications start-up, where he was tasked with building a network for international trade.Bezos was promoted to head of development and director of customer service thereafter.

In late 1993, Bezos decided to establish an online bookstore.He left his job at D. E. Shaw and founded Amazon in his garage on July 5, 1994, after writing its business plan on a cross-country drive from New York City to Seattle.Bezos initially named his new company Cadabra but later changed the name to Amazon after the Amazon River in South America, in part because the name begins with the letter A, which is at the beginning of the alphabet.

He accepted an estimated $300,000 from his parents and invested in Amazon.He warned many early investors that there was a 70% chance that Amazon would fail or go bankrupt. Although Amazon was originally an online bookstore, Bezos had always planned to expand to other products.

In 1998, Bezos diversified into the online sale of music and video, and by the end of the year he had expanded the company's products to include a variety of other consumer goods.Bezos used the $54 million raised during the company's 1997 equity offering to finance aggressive acquisition of smaller competitors.

Now I don't want to make this blog a stressfull thing to read so I am giving here some important years of Jeff Bezos life.
