Who Owns Amazon? The Visionary Behind the E-Commerce Empire
When you think of online shopping, the name Amazon instantly comes to mind. But do you know who started it all?
Jeff Bezos, a former hedge fund executive, founded Amazon in 1994 from his garage in Seattle. What began as an online bookstore quickly grew into the world’s largest e-commerce platform, revolutionizing how we shop, read, and even stream content.
Fun Facts:
Bezos initially named it "Cadabra" before switching to Amazon.
Amazon started with books, then expanded to electronics, groceries, cloud computing (AWS), and beyond.
Jeff Bezos stepped down as CEO in 2021, passing the reins to Andy Jassy, but he still remains Executive Chairman.
Amazon’s journey is a testament to innovation, risk-taking, and long-term thinking. Whether it's through Alexa, Prime, or AWS, the company continues to shape the future.
