0:14
financial returns but also to me there's
0:16
the extra psychic return of having my
0:19
creativity and technological vision bear
0:21
fruit and change the world in a positive
0:24
way jeff bezos once said while some may
0:26
question if he's made the world a better
0:28
place we can certainly say he's made
0:30
some good financial returns he is the
0:33
richest man in the world and it's
0:34
reported that he was worth 143 billion
0:38
eight hundred ten million two hundred
0:39
thirty one thousand four hundred fifty
0:41
nine dollars and twenty 23 cents at 3 55
0:44
pm on february 26 2019 this number will
0:48
of course fluctuate and it's said his
0:50
divorce will take a considerable chunk
0:52
out of his fortune before we talk about
0:54
how he made his billions let's first try
0:57
to get it into our heads just how much
0:59
cash this man has as we said his worth
1:01
changes a lot and that's due to many
1:03
factors but let's just say for now he
1:05
has around 140 billion dollars according
1:08
to the international monetary fund in
1:10
2018 that would give him a nominal gross
1:13
national product gdp around the size of
1:15
kuwait which comes around 58th on the
1:18
list of gdps around the world when that
1:20
list was created as one media outlet
1:22
stated in 2018 jeff bezos is now richer
1:25
than iceland tunzania jamaica and
1:28
estonia combined what does this
1:30
translate to someone already did the
1:32
math for us in 2018 regarding his yearly
1:34
earnings broken down into smaller time
1:36
frames we're told that it's estimated
1:38
that he makes almost one and a half
1:40
billion dollars a week around 213
1:42
million dollars a day 8.9 million an
1:45
hour 149 000 plus dollars every minute
1:48
and 2.4 thousand dollars per every
1:51
second that goes by yep for every minute
1:54
he lies in bed watches reruns of the
1:56
apprentice picks his nose or carves a
1:58
pineapple he's earning as much as a very
2:00
well paid employee in the united states
2:02
earns in a year in an hour he's rich and
2:05
in a day he's taken in more than most
2:07
people in the entire world could only
2:09
wish for if you're watching this from
2:10
malawi where the world bank states the
2:12
gross national income per year is on
2:14
average 320 bucks you might be trying to
2:17
get your head around how much time it
2:18
takes mr bezos to earn your yearly wage
2:21
the answer in short is not very long at
2:23
all maybe about the time it takes to
2:25
blink if you do it fast you get the
2:27
picture this man is mind-bogglingly rich
2:30
imagining his wealth is like trying to
2:32
fathom just how many planets and stars
2:34
there are moving about in the cosmos
2:36
let's just say he is cosmically rich
2:38
astronomically wealthy and it's
2:40
universally accepted that no one knows
2:42
how to create a cash stack like jeff but
2:45
how did he do that well we first had to
2:47
look at young jeff the millionaire in
2:49
the making the billionaire in the
2:51
beginning bezos was born on january 12
2:54
1964. that makes him a capricorn and if
2:56
you believe in that kind of thing you'll
2:58
know this star sign is supposed to be
3:00
ambitious proud and goal-oriented he
3:02
took his first breaths in albuquerque
3:04
new mexico but was raised in houston
3:06
texas he wasn't from some rich family
3:08
and when he came screaming into this
3:10
world his mom was a 17 year old high
3:12
school student and his pop owned a bike
3:14
shop these two got married and they
3:16
became the jorgensen family but that
3:18
didn't last long and when jeff was four
3:20
his mother married a cuban man named
3:22
miguel bezos sometimes called mike if
3:24
you're wondering what happened to jeff's
3:26
birth father in 2013 usa today said ted
3:29
jorgensen had just found out who his son
3:31
was and wanted to reconnect i didn't
3:33
know where he was if he had a good job
3:35
or not or if he were alive or dead he
3:37
was quoted as saying so we have a young
3:40
jeff and his mother and her new husband
3:42
they were still not well off but mike
3:45
got himself a degree and ended up
3:46
working as an engineer it said even at a
3:48
young age curious jeff was interested in
3:51
how things worked in his home and at
3:52
times he was able to rig contraptions of
3:54
his own around the house he graduated
3:56
from messing with his family's
3:58
appliances and moved on to more
3:59
scientific work in high school where he
4:01
graduated as valedictorian it was there
4:03
he started his first enterprise an
4:05
educational summer camp called the dream
4:08
institute at this time he was also
4:10
fascinated with computers in 1986 he
4:12
left princeton university with a 4.2
4:15
grade point average and he was a whiz at
4:17
computer science as well as being a
4:19
young man that was seen as exceptional
4:21
in many areas you can't really go wrong
4:23
after that and he soon was offered jobs
4:25
at lots of big firms but he settled with
4:27
a position at fintech soon after he
4:30
worked for the investment firm d.e shaw
4:32
and that's where he met his wife to be
4:34
the novelist mackenzie tuttle this is
4:36
not a family show but a money show
4:38
although we'll tell you that he had
4:40
three sons with her and they also
4:42
adopted a girl from china that likely
4:44
went very well for a while but after
4:46
some time being separated his wife did
4:48
what she did best and penned a letter
4:50
this was a twitter post that announced
4:52
her and jeff were splitting up we
4:54
certainly aren't going gonna go into the
4:55
controversial things that happened after
4:57
that but suffice to say they had some
4:59
marital problems if she gets her 50 of
5:02
his wealth she will become the richest
5:04
woman in the world okay back to the cold
5:06
hard cash question in 1993 bezos started
5:09
an online bookstore a year later he
5:11
founded a company some of you might know
5:13
called amazon this wasn't his first
5:15
choice of name but he settled with
5:17
amazon because the jungle was massive
5:19
and exotic and that's what his company
5:21
would be the amazon jungle is packed
5:23
with an incredible array of flora and
5:25
fauna and his company would become
5:27
packed with an incredible number of
5:28
things he had to borrow some cash to get
5:30
this started and while it only sold
5:32
books in the beginning he always said
5:34
later amazon would branch out into many
5:36
products but books were successful alone
5:39
and in a month his company was selling
5:41
them to people in 45 countries bringing
5:43
in 20 000 a week for the startup a few
5:46
years later and with millions raised for
5:49
his now public company he started to
5:51
include music and many other consumer
5:53
products at the time many other dot com
5:55
businesses were failing or sunk but not
5:57
amazon it said yearly sales in 1995 were
6:00
around 510 000 but in 2011 a cool 17
6:05
billion dollars but rewinding a little
6:07
we must remember that bezos started to
6:09
put his long fingers and many other pies
6:11
in 2002 he launched the cloud computing
6:14
platform amazon web services something
6:16
which would end up being very useful not
6:18
just for companies or individuals but
6:20
for governments amazon also came out
6:22
with the amazon kindle in 2007. another
6:25
area he went into was publishing and in
6:27
2013 he bought the washington post
6:29
company what else did he do well a lot
6:32
really amazon has an ai arm which if you
6:35
follow tech news has done things like
6:37
develop facial recognition technology
6:39
the company that became the world's
6:40
biggest shipping firm has come up with
6:42
novel ways to deliver packages such as
6:45
by drone and has implemented new
6:47
technologies into its warehouses then
6:49
there's the video on demand service
6:51
amazon prime and original content
6:54
producer amazon studios and also amazon
6:57
publishing you also have cashless amazon
6:59
go stores and the 13.4 billion dollar
7:02
acquisition of the whole foods market a
7:04
specialist supermarket in terms of
7:06
revenue amazon was said to be the
7:08
biggest tech company in the world in
7:10
2018 with a revenue of 232 billion it's
7:13
also said to be worth in the region of
7:15
800 billion but apple beats amazon for
7:17
first place in that category at a value
7:20
of around 930 billion amazon also
7:22
employs quite a few people with 613
7:25
300 folks working for the company around
7:28
the world the question now is how does
7:30
all this success relate to cash going
7:33
into mr bezos's rather large pockets
7:36
well as you can guess the main part of
7:37
the business is the website amazon.com
7:40
you know that because you've likely
7:42
bought something there we mean who
7:43
hasn't over the age of 18. the fact is
7:45
most people are using the site means
7:47
jeff bezos is a very rich man bloomberg
7:50
that reports bazels his wealth to have
7:52
risen as high as 161 billion in 2018
7:55
tells us that he owns 16 of the company
7:58
amazon you already know how much the
8:00
company is worth and how much that
8:02
company pulls in so that 16 percent he
8:04
owns is where the lion's share of this
8:06
money comes from bloomberg also says he
8:08
has sold some of his shares in amazon to
8:10
fund his space exploration company blue
8:12
origin but basically when you consider
8:14
that bezos owns 78.8 million shares of
8:17
amazon and each amazon share is worth 1
8:21
636.46 at the time of writing well you
8:24
can see why he's so rich if you're
8:26
wondering how amazon.com makes money
8:28
well it's mainly from general retail and
8:30
the money people pay to sell stuff there
8:32
either as individuals or professional
8:34
retail third-party sellers but also from
8:37
shipping fees warehouse fees deals and
8:39
more the chunk of cash comes from retail
8:41
and a bit more from third-party sellers
8:43
on amazon.com but as we said amazon web
8:46
services has also done well and
8:48
according to forbes it saw a revenue of
8:50
around 25 billion for 2018. amazon prime
8:53
brings in around another 6 billion and a
8:55
few more billions are made from ads and
8:58
things such as co-branded credit card
8:59
agreements if you're wondering what
9:01
sells best on amazon books are only in
9:03
third place now with household items
9:05
coming in first place and toys and games
9:08
in second place finally we might also
9:10
look at this opening paragraph from a
9:12
fortune article written in 2019. those
9:14
wondering how many zeros amazon which is
9:17
valued at nearly 800 billion dollars has
9:19
to pay in federal taxes might be
9:21
surprised to learn that its check to the
9:23
irs will read exactly zero dollars we
9:26
are told this is perfectly legal we'll
9:28
let one expert explain it albeit vaguely
9:30
he said amazon avoids paying federal
9:32
taxes using a variety of tax credits and
9:35
tax exemptions that are legal and built
9:37
into the u.s federal tax code what he
9:39
meant by these exemptions was mostly
9:41
centered around a research and
9:42
development tax credit recent tax
9:44
deductions for investments in equipment
9:46
and also something called stock-based
9:48
compensation so there you go that's how
9:50
jeff bezos became the richest man in the
9:53
universe you don't have to be the
9:55
richest man in the world to have amazing
