Jeff BezosJeffrey Preston Bezos was born on January 12, 1964, in Albuquerque, New Mexico. He is an American business magnate, media proprietor, investor, and space pioneer. He is best known as the founder of Amazon, which he began on July 5, 1994, from his garage in Bellevue, Washington. What began as an online bookstore quickly grew into a multinational e-commerce colossus, cloud computing giant (Amazon Web Services), and diversified technology conglomerate under his visionary leadership.
Bezos's business acumen goes way beyond Amazon. In 2000, he created Blue Origin, an aerospace manufacturing and spaceflight services company aimed at opening up space to future generations; in fact, he himself flew to outer space aboard the New Shepard rocket in 2021. In 2013, he purchased The Washington Post, reinvigorating the venerable newspaper. He has also been an early backer of numerous pioneering companies in various industries, including Google, Uber, Airbnb, and several biotech and AI firms, through his own venture capital firm, Bezos Expeditions.
Bezos has stepped up his philanthropic efforts in the last few years. In 2020, he launched the Bezos Earth Fund, a $10 billion effort to combat climate change, and the money would be used entirely by 2030. He also continues to fund the Bezos Day One Fund that provides grants to nonprofits that assist homeless families and is constructing a chain of tuition-free preschools. As of August 2025, Forbes calculates that his net worth is over $240 billion, ranking him among the richest people in the world.
Jeff Bezos married Emmy-winning journalist and philanthropist Lauren Sánchez in an opulent, multi-day wedding in Venice, Italy, in June 2025. The A-list extravaganza, which had an guest list including Oprah Winfrey, Bill Gates, and Leonardo DiCaprio, was held at historic landmarks around the city, with the two saying their vows on the private island of San Giorgio Maggiore.

Elon MuskElon Musk was born on June 28th, 1971 in South Africa.
