Do you need grocery items from Amazon? Do you want to watch movies from Amazon Prime? Or do you need to buy a good gadget from Amazon? All these products are available from a single spot: Amazon. Jeff Bezos, the founder of Amazon, never imagined that his invention and his ideologies during the early 90s would be embraced and welcomed by people across the globe till today. Amazon was not built in one day; it has become the epitome of modern business success.
Jeff Bezos’s then-wife, MacKenzie Scott, and Jeff jointly started Amazon after quitting their job at D.E. Shaw. Initially, their plan was to open an online bookstore as Cadabra in 1994. However, Jeff Bezos later renamed ‘Cadabra’ to ‘Amazon’ to ensure it appeared early in alphabetical listings. Amazon, being the largest river, Jeff Bezos also hoped that this ‘Amazon’ would become the largest online bookstore—a strategic choice for people searching online bookstore.
From Books To Essentials
In the late 90s, Jeff started exploring the sale of videos and music online. Later, all the essential consumer items were available. In the later years, Jeff launched Amazon Web Services, a cloud computing platform; Amazon Kindle, a digital reading platform; Blue Origin, an aerospace company; and Amazon Prime, a leading OTT platform for movies, series and more.
Who Is Lauren Sánchez?
Lauren, a journalist, a pilot, and a presenter, met Jeff Bezos at a party in 2016. While married to other people, their relationship ignited rumours of an affair. However, in 2019, Jeff and his wife, MacKenzie Scott, parted ways. In parallel, Lauren parted ways from her husband, Patrick Whitesell. Lauren’s significant contribution to TV shows like Larry King Live, The Joy Behar Show and Showbiz Tonight, along with publishing her debut children’s book, The Fly Who Flew to Space, and starting an aerial film and production company, reflects her versatility as a media person and adventurer.
Engaged
Jeff proposed to Lauren in May 2023 while travelling on his three-masted superyacht, Koru. Jeff had woven every moment with care and intention. The diamond ring featured a large stone set on a thin, elegant band in a cathedral style. And he was hiding this diamond ring underneath Lauren’s pillow. After their lovely dinner under the celestial skies, Lauren was surprised by the box in Jeff’s hand.
