In 2012,
Bezos was named Businessperson of the Year by Fortune magazine. As of August 2013, he is listed as one of the wealthiest people in the world, with an estimated net worth of $28 billion.
“The company that started out as a
few guys in a garage has now revolutionized the way we buy everything from books to toys to clothes,” says Sean Blanda, managing editor and producer of 99u (the research and education arm of the Behance Network).
“Amazon is now one of the 100 largest companies in America, mostly thanks to bold long term plays like the Amazon Kindle.”
According to Wikipedia, Bezos is known for his attention to business details.
As described by Portfolio.com, he “is at once a happy-go-lucky mogul and a notorious micro-manager; an executive who wants to know about everything from contract minutiae to how he is quoted in all Amazon press releases”.
