I always tried to dig into Jeff Bezos roots because I always suspected him of being another billionaire baby like Bill Gates, Zuckerberg, Musk, Jobs and every other multibillionaire they say started a business in a basement. It was always hard to find any details on Bezos.
It turns out his grandfather on his mom’s side, Lawrence Preston Gise, was the head of the US Atomic Energy Commission, in charge of 26,000 employees. He also worked for…. DARPA, working on missile systems and space tech.
His mother and adoptive father kicked in $250k to kick Amazon off. Most likely from his grandpa’s above average wealth His adoptive father was an oil executive once migrating to the US from Cuba. His real dad was a unicycler in a circus.
Is it a coincidence Jeffy boy made it to the top organically and now provides servers and space tech to the MIC? Is his business legitimate, or is it a government ran business masquerading as an e-commerce biz, using the plebes money to grow while bankrupting local economies?
