When Amazon became the second company in history to reach a market value of $1 trillion, his net worth increased by $1.8 billion.

The BlueOrigin test flight successfully entered space for the first time in 2015, and the company also plans to begin commercial suborbital human spaceflight.

The creation of Amazon is what Jeff Bezos calls the "Regret Minimization Framework", which describes his efforts to resist those who regretted not participating in the Internet business boom during that time. In 1994, Bezos left the position of vice president of D. E. Shaw & Co., a Wall Street company, and moved to Seattle, Washington, where he began to develop business plans to become Amazon.com.
On July 5, 1994, Bezos initially established a company in Washington State under the name Cadabra Inc. A few months later, after a lawyer mistakenly referred to his original name as "corpse," he changed the name to Amazon Inc. In the early days, the company operated outside the garage of the Bezos House on 28th Street Northeast of Bellevue, Washington. In September 1994, Bezos purchased the domain name relentless.com and briefly considered naming its online store Relentless, but friends told him that the name sounded a little sinister. The domain is still owned by Bezos and is still redirected to the retailer.
Bezos chose the name Amazon by browsing the dictionary. He chose "Amazon" because it is an "exotic and distinctive" place, as he envisioned for his Internet business. He pointed out that the Amazon River is the largest river in the world, and he plans to make his store the largest bookstore in the world. Also, a name starting with "A" is preferred because it may be at the top of the alphabetical list. Bezos went all the way in the process of building the brand and told reporters: "There is nothing in our model that can be copied over time. But McDonald's was copied. It still built billions of dollars Huge asset companies. Many boil down to brand names. Online brand names are more important than actual brands."
