1:04:36 Interviewer: "So lets talk about your wife" Bezos: "Ehhhh Yeah.....Yeahhhh.......Yeah. What's the question? (In his head thinking about those text messages)
doesnt change the fact that he was the most genius man in recorded history. he would laugh at u for associating the quality of life lived with amont of wealth accumulated.
A lot of intelligent men do, i just think its interesting that the wealthiest man today has touched on a point that one of the most intelligent minds to ever lived also addressed. It is a shame that he struggled. Though it is more of a shame if we do not learn from him.
Ray Gunsmith I laugh at the irony two men who uphold the importance of intuition and one ends up the wealthiest man in history and one ends up with nothing
As a customer Nick, does it matter to you that the richest company in the world can't even pay it's workers livable wages? That tax payers have to make up for?
Well, I've seen people talk about this everywhere. No body is providing evidence to back up their statements though. Also, every time an organization or person becomes giant there will always be talk about them. Some accurate... some inaccurate. Like Bezo said, "If its true about you change, if its not true don't let it upset you." He also said, "If you're not prepared for that type of talk from people, you're company doesn't deserve to become big."
It's totally natural for people to analyze big companies.. and they should. Bezo is providing great service. God Bless Bezo and hope he becomes richer!!
legend in a positive way or negative? This guy uses people for almost minimum wage pay and huge health problems with that people are suffering! You need to work in the warehouse breaking your back and now with lack of COVID-19 safety protocol . When you work for Amazon then tell people who great AMAZON is then!
So many people are quick to criticize Bezos... but what I wonder is how many of the very same people shop on Amazon & have a prime membership who wouldn't give it up to shop elsewhere. I'm not hating on the guy either but rather, have a lot of admiration for him.
Hey Mark, are you saying you stopped shopping on Amazon & use eBay exclusively because he became the world's richest man? Also, Bezos' plan is to reinvest into Blue Origin so that we can become a multi planetary species, as far as he claims, which is all one can go on. The point being, we & he might not ever really know the impact of what being able to do that means, but it sure is a better plan than what most humans are doing. Same thing applies to Elon Musk. The world's richest people didn't set out to become the world's richest people, they were just lucky to end up there. That comes with a level of responsibility you or I will never have to worry about. Happy shopping on eBay tho.
I always think of myself as a smart educated person till I hear this man n Steve Jobs but it’s not just smartness. Philanthropy n caring about education n poverty. Love you !!!
People love to compare Jeff Bezos to Elon Musk. When they do, they often point out the fact that Musk runs several companies while Bezos only runs one. That ignores the fact that Bezos successfully runs Amazon the ecommerce store, Amazon web services, Blue origin and to some extent the Washington Post. Very impressive guy!
" he worked hard for it." Of course he didn't. hE set up Amazon by bullying publishers into giving him all the info about their books and the cover images for free. He also forced them to give him rights to that info in perpetuity. Now that he's moved beyond books he gets all that info from manufacturers. And he employs people to do all the dirty work for him and he traats them like slaves.
Every time you buy anything from Amazon or hold a prime subscription, you are literally giving money to him. (Funding his choices which includes pay for employees). All I'm saying is your money speaks louder. Bezos understands his customers and delivers. Good Business.
Jesus, do you even know that most people working at Amazon are paid minimum wage and pee in bottles just to do crazy targets? His wealth is built on modern slavery.
The thing is. They are paid so little because of replacibility in economy. On such a large scale, just a little increase would slow down amazon and make the service way worse for millions. I get what you mean, but we have to take that into account :)
I was astonished by Travis Huff s comment. Most employers offer decent working conditions, while the richest man in the world cannot afford to do it. How is Bezos a hero and an amazing human?
Very helpful interview covering a lot of stuff From Early days of Amazon, childhood, family, kids, life, business, Trump, Bill Gates, richest man in the world, Washington post, blue origin, whole foods and just bezos' abstract ideas about humanity and the universe. Learned a lot
I just found this video now (oops, I am late). I was doing research about "who owns the media". We should not have a world with such enormous equality (we should all be asking "how did we get here?". It is frightening how much power a handful of individuals now have. They can (and do!) take large chunks of profits ($billions) and invest in "philanthropy". For instance, lot of powerful people have created Foundations that serve a couple of purposes. First, their "projects" allow them to hang on to, and work with a lot of money that really is unpaid tax $, and secondly, it allows them to influence some area of particular interest. We are now in a dangerous situation where unelected people are shaping our institutions, our culture and our world... because they have the money (power) to do so. That being said, I cannot help but like Jeff Bezos from this (excellent) interview. What he said about "intuition" and "heart" blew me away. He is pointing out our humanity and the importance of those qualities, and whether consciously or not, he is talking about the soul. These are things that I am discussing in a book I am currently writing, and I believe that what he said is enormously important. I am surprised and impressed by this interview. It is actually is giving me a bit of hope, that not all powerful men become changed by money and power, and start developing a god complex, reducing other people to mere objects. Maybe not every person who achieves so much power has to lose (or sell) their soul along the way. I guess we can wait and see.
He’s doing more than the owners of Walmart ever did but where’s their critics ? You know if it was one person instead of 4 they are worth double what Bezos is. Their greed is at another level and they’ve been doing it for decades. Give Bezos a break.
Even though the gold price increased in 2018, the top gold miners production declined while costs continue to escalate. Output at three of the top gold miners in the world fell in the first half of 2018 compared to the same period last year.
Some people criticize Amazon/Jeff Bezos for their treatment of their employees. A way to solve this problem is to replace the workers with more efficient and compliant robots and drones.
Which people? Are we expanding to the whole worlds population now? I'm talking about America. And the guy on his $3 would be reading my comment furiously on his 4g mobile connection.
He's really good. I thought he was "nuts" and I had to change my mind. They forgot we are not able to keep focus for more than 20 minutes. It was boring though he's good. Congrats.
It's rare to have such humour on stage .... The interviewer is amazing... In short this whole interview is autobiography of Jeff
Jeff Bezos is acutually greater than Amazon itself. great interview, and very honest, and open about most stuff
The most scary thing here is the economic and financial illiteracy in the comments.
It is very unfortunate but I suppose, it is not total surprise.
Correction~ Says a guy who owns no gaming system on his lunch break, at his own apartment.
1:04:36 Interviewer: "So lets talk about your wife" Bezos: "Ehhhh Yeah.....Yeahhhh.......Yeah. What's the question? (In his head thinking about those text messages)
He's worried that the interviewer might have figured out that she was forced to divorce him because his performance metrics were so low.
Is he the wealthiest person in the world? Or the wealthiest person in the world whose wealth is something that can be estimated/discussed publicly?
Bezo has the biggest rich man's laugh
Nikola Tesla stated that intuition was the highest form of intelligence ;)
Benjamin youngman Tesla died penniless

Ray Gunsmith how do you quantify genius?

Amazon is seriously great.. you can tell they're very focused on the customer

great service but for employees terrible culture
They pay them about the same as every other shipping company so.....
What an absolute legend.

Who you think you are to decide what rational purchases made by "the market" are is where I see myself out of this conversation. Bye bye Mark.
Really interesting interview, many great insights from this intelligent and thoughtful man
I always think of myself as a smart educated person till I hear this man n Steve Jobs but it’s not just smartness. Philanthropy n caring about education n poverty. Love you !!!
Great interview, love the grass roots up bringing.
great interview. inspiration to many entrepreneurs
He's truly number one man in the universe , not only at net worth ....
haha

Great interview! Incredible what he accomplished and what his mom had to go through.
Don't pay attention to what he says, the key thing to learn if you want to be like him is how to lie out every orifice. That's the secret.
Best interview with bezos I have seen to date
That's soo true, and trust me I have watched a lot of his interviews.
This was awesome. Im truly inspired to keep building my own business.
26:27 who immediately Googled "Yosanta princeton" or "yosanta theoretical physicist" after listening to this story?
It's Yasantha
Dr. Yasantha Rajakarunanayake to be exact
😂😂@@AbracadabraFC
I will join the economics club of Washington DC in the future years.
Excellent interview and commentary .. thank you Amazon CEO and founder Jeff Bezos ..!!
hi, how are you?
A very humble yet entrepreneurial man.
Great interview. Very helpful
Bezos comes across as an optimist. That is great, and is an inspiration. He obviously has fun with his work.
He's optimistic that one day he will own your bollocks.
a living legend
Yes Mr. Bezos for Great ideas about Economic schedule
Jeff Besos is great. He earned his status and his riches, he worked hard for it. He is a model for anyone willing to pursue his or her dreams.
" he worked hard for it." Of course he didn't. hE set up Amazon by bullying publishers into giving him all the info about their books and the cover images for free. He also forced them to give him rights to that info in perpetuity. Now that he's moved beyond books he gets all that info from manufacturers. And he employs people to do all the dirty work for him and he traats them like slaves.
In the end when he was talking about 1trillion humans in the solar system, really imagine 1,000 Einstein's lol
Great video! You are awesome
The audio is so low i have to swallow my food whole just to hear it all lol
Maytane Winner nah just your speaker are broke
Thanks!
The interview is clever. He definitely keeps Bezos on his toes :)
Nice interview
absolutely great interviewer!
Every time you buy anything from Amazon or hold a prime subscription, you are literally giving money to him. (Funding his choices which includes pay for employees). All I'm saying is your money speaks louder. Bezos understands his customers and delivers. Good Business.
Yeah, it's a good business in the sense that most of the customer's money goes to him and his stockholders, not really his employees.
That is why you start a business. And to answer your question, who took the risk in the business?
What's individually rational(shopping on Amazon) is collectively disastrous.
Alan - It’s his business, therefore he runs it as he sees fit.
I absolutely love the insights of Jeff Bezos.... truly one of my heroes and AMAZING HUMAN!
TRAVIS I BELIEVE YOU CAN BECOME A BILLIONAIRE. AND IF THATS YOUR AIM YOU WILL. I BELIEVE IN YOU. Ignore that peon. Keep thriving..
Jesus, do you even know that most people working at Amazon are paid minimum wage and pee in bottles just to do crazy targets? His wealth is built on modern slavery.
If they have the freedom to leave and find other jobs, then they are not slaves.
The thing is. They are paid so little because of replacibility in economy. On such a large scale, just a little increase would slow down amazon and make the service way worse for millions. I get what you mean, but we have to take that into account :)
I was astonished by Travis Huff s comment. Most employers offer decent working conditions, while the richest man in the world cannot afford to do it. How is Bezos a hero and an amazing human?
at 24' -- It's not Yoshantha, it is Yasantha Rajakarunanayake who is Senior Director of Technology at MediaTek in the SF Bay Area
If we write 24:00 it creates a link
Great interview!!
you are so rich(yet divorcing) you lost. not because of anything. The labor is basically like Slavery.
Great info - Thanks
Very helpful interview covering a lot of stuff
From Early days of Amazon, childhood, family, kids, life, business, Trump, Bill Gates, richest man in the world, Washington post, blue origin, whole foods and just bezos' abstract ideas about humanity and the universe.

Because compared to Jeff, he's irrelevant.
Great talk
Great man i loved the Yosantha's story
He’s doing more than the owners of Walmart ever did but where’s their critics ? You know if it was one person instead of 4 they are worth double what Bezos is. Their greed is at another level and they’ve been doing it for decades. Give Bezos a break.

Brilliant guy

Amazing business wisdom in here ... Thanks!

We're so blessed to have people like Jeff, bill and elon alive, such inspiration!
What a unique man!

Even though the gold price increased in 2018, the top gold miners production declined while costs continue to escalate. Output at three of the top gold miners in the world fell in the first half of 2018 compared to the same period last year.
That means that theirs less gold to mine aye ahhhh gotta hord it all

p.s. UNTIL WE LEARN TO LEARN FROM HISTORY WE ARE DOOMED TO REPEAT IT!
Why is David Rubenstein not in the picture?
It'd be a good look for his company to pay his employee's a wage they can live better on.
Which people? Are we expanding to the whole worlds population now? I'm talking about America. And the guy on his $3 would be reading my comment furiously on his 4g mobile connection.
Who really cares? Let's worry about restoring the middle class in America before we worry about some fishermen in West bumblefuc
They dont make 18g and live in those countries man, We live in America where shts expensive. AND WHO KEEPS HIGHLIGHTING THESE REPLYs
He's really good. I thought he was "nuts" and I had to change my mind. They forgot we are not able to keep focus for more than 20 minutes. It was boring though he's good. Congrats.
Jeff 💝
YES Good bay
Like the bit from 23:51 for five minutes
