Description
This appealing biography traces the life story of Jeff Bezos, the famous entrepreneur and founder of Amazon.com, and provides valuable information on how to become an Internet entrepreneur. As a boy, Jeff Bezos had a keen interest in gadgets and a knack for improving everything - from playing football to cracking eggs. Bezos's determination, technical savvy, and commitment to quality made him one of the world's wealthiest men before the age of 40. Committed to "getting bigger faster," Bezos founded Amazon.com in his Seattle garage in 1994. During the next decade, his start-up went from modest online bookstore to e-commerce giant as countless other ventures came and went. Much of the company's success can be attributed to Bezos's remarkable drive and vision, which filters through every level of the organization.
