Let Naijauto tell you the story how we have a Jeff Bezos as today!

Jeff Bezos was born in 1964 in New Mexico and raised in Texas. When giving birth to him, his mother was just a 17-year-old high school student. His parents divorced after 17 months of marriage, then he was adopted by his stepfather Mike Bezos when he was four.

Bezos studied at Princeton University, majoring electrical engineering & computer science. After his graduation in 1987, he worked for Fitel to build a network for international trade. Later on, he stepped into the banking industry and worked as a product manager during 2 years till 1990. He then worked for D.E. Shaw & Co for 4 years and became its senior vice-president in 1994.

The Princeton University, where Bezos studied electrical engineering & computer science

In a trip from New York to Seattle, Bezos has come up with a business plan for an online bookstore. He left his job to launch his own company “Amazon” in his garage in July, 1994.

In the early days, Bezos always warned his investors (including his parents with $300,000 contribution) that the company would go bankrupt. However, Amazon maintained its growth and gradually overtook reputed book retailers like Borders or Barners & Noble.

During his career, Bezos has encountered a lot of scandals and difficult times.

• In 2000 - 2002, rapid investment into Amazon Web Services has led to its financial distress, causing the shutdown of many distribution centers and 14% employers laid off.
• In March, 2018, President Donald Trump accused Amazon of sales tax avoidance, anticompetitive business practices as well as the misuse of postal routes. These comments from the U.S President has reduced Amazon’s share price by 9% and took nearly $11 billion out of Bezos’ s wealth.
• In September, 2018, Amazon was one more time accused by a Senator that it didn’t pay its employees a living wage. Bezos then announced a wage increase in October 2 to get rid of negative comments around the company.

Those are just major rough times in the journey of Amazon and its owner. If one day, you feel disappointed about yourself and want to give up, think of Jeff Bezos and how he struggles to go through all of this.

Look on the bright side and you’ll see rainbows after the stormy day!
