By 27 he was a millionaire, using gaming as a path to provide for his family while learning that money isn’t happiness. He now encourages parents to support children’s curiosity when it doesn’t ruin their life, and emphasizes balance and purpose beyond wealth.

How a 2,000-Mile Road Trip Helped Write Amazon’s Birth Plan

During a 2,000-mile road trip in 1994, Jeff Bezos drafted Amazon’s first business plan on a laptop in the passenger seat while MacKenzie Scott drove in a borrowed 1988 Chevy Blazer; after leaving D. E. Shaw, the couple settled in Seattle and launched Amazon in 1995 with books as the initial product. Scott helped with early operations, including bookkeeping and shipping contracts, as Bezos’s modest early sales predictions gave way to a global e-commerce and tech empire (including AWS). Bezos remained CEO until 2021, and Scott later became a prominent philanthropist using her Amazon wealth.
