    And he wants to spend some of it, presumably...
    I wonder if he'll buy anything off his own website.

    The only one thing that you can not buy is time of life, he got it.

    Seems like he wants to focus on other ventures, I guess when you build a wealth like this, eventually you want to shift the direction in which you going. Expect to see the likes of Blue Origin ramp up.

    and possibly Amazon slowly (or quickly) to go to cack - happens in other cases. The founders leave and the new management stuff it up. It's not without its challenges, big brands pulling out due to so much cheap foreign crap and imitation/poor quality junk, not to mention the dodgy reviews scandal, then the whole tax perception, etc.

    Yeah, you are right, sometimes it goes to cack with the new management. However, in Amazon's case, I think they built the wealth and diversification to the point where even for the most incompetent of managements it would take years to run down. From what I've read and seen the new CEO is quite good, in fact, he took AWS to the heights that it is now which is the biggest Amazon's revenue stream.

    He's made his money, I'm more interested in what he's going to do next rather than what he does as the CEO of Amazon..

    Look at Gates as an example, I'm more interested as who he is as a person and what he does since his time post-Microsoft rather than the stereotypical geeky looking character he was coding in a garage...

    Interested in, or wary of?
    Given some of the very questionable and often highly controversial practices that have allowed Amazon to rise to power under Bezos's reign, it makes me wonder what else he might do that to...
