How did Jeff Bezos become so rich so fast
Jeff Bezos is uniquely talented. As they say, Amazon is truly a peculiar company – both differentiated and visionary. And this was especially the case during their first 15 years of existence when they were harshly critiqued for their high growth, low-profit market strategy
Here are few reason he became so rich fast
Strong background
His parents invested heavily and he was awesome with his academics, hence he was into investment banking. Even when he started his company, his parents were his first investors
Extraordinary Vision
Many people in mid 90s knew about the internet thing and the way it can transform things. But Bezos’s vision was not ordinary. He thought about trading and creating customer base through internet. The outside world would think, people order, a great deal of logistics and shipping crap happen in between and boom, things reach; what a wierd thing. But Bezos wasn’t the case. He quit his IB job at age 29 , and started working on idea. He admitted that if failed, he can get back to IB anytime bit if internet thing is gone it wouldnt come back, he visioned potent of internet amazingly well
Customer Obsession
His execution and feedback mechanism were even better. He was absolutely obsessed with customer satisfaction working day and night and beared losses straight for 5 years, but he never left his inner instincts. His idea of creating warehouse as a response to Walmart was really gutsy and it paid off, hats off execution
Luck
This is where no one had control. Amazon flew like fire. There are very very few unicorns with such rapid growing history. He kind of ruled both internet and retail industry. And rest is just history
