I'm always in awe of Amazon's sustained growth. Bezos has built a company that has innovated constantly (after a tumultuous start in the late 90s) and at scale:
- AWS was launched in 2006 when Amazon had < 15k employees.
- Kindle was launched in late 2007 with 20k employees.
- Echo was launched in 2014 with 150k employees.
It's no surprise he's the richest in history. Will be really interesting to see how he spends his money over the next 2-3 decades.
