Amazon

...and the first World Ruler is....

Do you recognize him? No? His name is Jeff Bezos. Pronounced Bay-Zohs. Get it right. Now do you know who he is? Well, you should. Everyone should. He's going to rule the world one day. Ladies and gentlemen, this is the wealthiest man in the world. With a net worth of 104+ billion dollars. His company employs over half a million people! This is Jeff Bezos, founder of Amazon. He is 54 years old. Born in Albuquerque raised in Houston. He's married and has 4 children. 

He started Amazon in his garage. After Amazon.com, along came Alexa!  More than 20 million Amazon Echos have been sold. On the heals of Alexa came the Amazon Fire TV. Then he bought The Washington Post. Then he bought a grocery store. From the time Amazon.com "opened" it took 6 years for the dot com to turn a profit. Isn't that crazy?!!? Who does that? Geez, we have restaurants that open and close in a matter of months but Jeff Bezos stuck to it. Why?  Even now, Amazon is not really a profitable company. He's building loyalty. 

Amazon doesn't mess around. Google came out with Google Home (its version of Echo) 2 years later. Google owns YouTube. Not surprisingly, Amazon doesn't sell the Google Home. Duh. But Google wanted to test its muscle, so it said, Amazon, if you don't sell Google Home, we're going to pull the You Tube app from your Fire TV. Amazon said, meh, go ahead. Google pulled the app last month. As far as I can tell, it hasn't effected Amazon in the least.

I love Amazon. I think the logistics of Amazon is mind blowing. And their customer service is pretty awesome. I love Alexa, she rocks! I really like my Fire TV too. Netflix, Hulu, Prime Video, games...good stuff. I brought all this up because Jeff Bezos made another startling announcement last month. He's going to partner with Warren Buffet and JP Morgan to create a new health care system for their employees. 

What's next? World domination. Pay attention people.
