貝佐斯(Jeff Bezos)
網購公司 Amazon.com 創辦人及執行長、航太公司 Blue Origin 創辦人、《華盛頓郵報》The Washington Post 東主。根據最新資料，他的資產總值高達美金1308億，是全球大富翁排行第一名。笑聲爽朗、人緣又棒但是不太喜歡運動的Bezos從小就沈迷於科學與外太空(受到電視劇 Star Trek 啟蒙)，第一次接觸電腦的原因竟是因為裡面有 Star Trek 電遊！畢業於普林斯頓大學電子(EE)和電腦系(CS)、28歲才第一次交女朋友、30歲創辦了Amazon.com、36歲成為全美最富有的人….Bezos的人生充滿了冒險與驚喜，而他的成功最重要的關鍵是好學(inquisitive)、無畏(fearless)、勇於嘗試(adventurous)和非常執著(Extremely determined)。他不是傳奇人物，他的成功經歷與矽谷或國外其他高科技創業者可以互相媲美，比較獨特的是在他收割Amazon的豐收之後還能夠不忘初衷，勇敢追逐孩提時期的夢想~發展太空科技。他的航太公司將在今年(2018)實現人類太空旅遊計畫，讓大家有機會從宇宙的高度俯瞰美麗的地球。
Jeffrey Preston Bezos (born in 1964) is an American technology entrepreneur, investor, and philanthropist, best known as the founder, chairman, and chief executive officer of Amazon, the world's largest online shopping retailer. He graduated from Princeton University in 1986 with degrees in electrical engineering and computer science. He went on to work on Wall Street in a variety of related fields from 1986 to early 1994. He founded Amazon in late 1994 on a cross-country road trip from New York City to Seattle. The company began as an Internet merchant of books and expanded to a wide variety of products and services, most recently video and audio streaming. It is currently the world's largest Internet sales online company, as well as the world's largest provider of cloud infrastructure services via its Amazon Web Services arm. Bezos diversified his business interests when he founded aerospace company Blue Origin in 2000. Blue Origin started test flights to space in 2015 and plans for commercial suborbital human spaceflight beginning in 2018. He purchased The Washington Post newspaper in 2013 for US$250 million in cash. On July 27, 2017, he briefly became the world's wealthiest person when he accumulated an estimated net worth of just over $90 billion. His wealth surpassed $100 billion for the first time on November 24 after Amazon's share price increased by more than 2.5%. He was formally designated the wealthiest person in the world on March 6, 2018 with a registered net worth of $112 billion by Forbes, becoming the first centi-billionaire. As of March 21, 2018, he has an estimated net worth of $130.8 billion, and is contended to be on track to become the wealthiest person in contemporary history.
