The world now knows Jeff Bezos as the richest man in the world, but it took a lot of hard work for him to get to this point. He is the CEO and founder of Amazon which is now one of the most profitable companies in the entire world.

Jeff Bezos Education: Believe it or not, his degree in college was actually for electrical engineering and computer science. He went to Princeton University which does take a lot of brain power no matter what your degree is. He briefly worked on Wall Street before he got his idea for this company all the way back in 1994.

Amazon started: Originally the company started by selling books online, when Bezos was working out of his garage. He knew that the market for books would never end, but the internet was a brand new thing in 1994 and he struck at the perfect time. Now Amazon is widely known as the world’s largest online store and it sells many more items than just books. You can literally find any sort of product that you would like on this website, which goes to show how large of a store it is and how powerful and rich Jeff Bezos has become.
