I think that Amazon account we don't if we're not one of those important lasting
companies born of the internet we will have nobody to blame but ourselves and
that we will be extremely disappointed in ourselves but there are no guarantees
as we care for Christmas people will be buying a lot of their gifts on
amazon.com making Jeff Bezos the real-life Santa Claus of the 21st
century I can't believe Kenny bailed on us just because he thinks Jeff Bezos is
a bad guy yeah how can somebody who gives you whenever you Bobby a bad guy
no Jeff Bezos he doesn't live at the North Pole but he could likely buy an
entire continent if he saw fit now instead he likes to scoop up properties
throughout the United States and is said to be the 25th largest land owner in all
of the US he's got homes in Washington Washington DC Texas Beverly Hills and of
course New York City you're getting an exclusive look inside Amazon CEO Jeff
Bezos his brand-new penthouse he's also got an assortment of million-dollar cars
including his Ferrari Pininfarina Sergio a Bugatti Veyron Mansouri a W motors
lykan Hypersport a Koenigsegg CCX R trivita a Lamborghini veneno like sorry
if I butchered any of the names of those cars if you're not new to this channel
well that's kind of how it goes here now these are all recent purchases with him
having been said to be still driving in 1996 Honda Accord as recent as 2013
what's with the Honda this is a perfectly good car nowadays he likes to
kick up his feet in his very own 65 million dollar Gulfstream g650 er
private jet but don't worry he's also got some flying perks for the rest of us
like his experimental initiative called Amazon Prime air where he uses drones to
provide delivery services to his eager customers I mean the guy ain't doing bad
for a dude who once upon a time he worked in McDonald's no Jeff Bezos he
was the first person in modern history to accumulate a fortune of over 100
billion dollars and is estimated to be worth anywhere between 110 and 150
billion dollars at the time of this recording Bezos has earned the same
eighty one thousand eight hundred forty dollar salary from Amazon
1997 but it's his shares that have made him one-up if not the richest man in the
world with him having earned as much as two hundred and sixty million dollars in
a single day now some online experts they did the
moths and what a dollar means to the average American is equal to eighty
eight thousand dollars for mr. Jeff Bezos I mean the dude is so rich he was
actually able to buy himself a walk-on role in Star Trek beyond this totally
yeah that's him with the long head saying speak normally so Bezos he called
this a bucket list situation which I can actually relate to I grew up obsessed
with dumb and dumber and then I got a background role in the sequel sure the
movie wasn't great but I was there with Jim Carrey manifestation people it truly
works now Amazon is diversified in so many ways there's Amazon Prime which is
competing with Netflix there's twitch which is competing with
YouTube they own weird things like imdb.com audible Whole Foods and more no
sadly with all the money in the world well he couldn't save his receding
hairline ah damn now I'm in trouble
what's going on guys it's for michael crichton back at it with another of the
rich live video this time on Jeff Bezos know you guys requested this video in
the comments from our Elon Musk the rich life video so of course we got to work
on getting there done for you ASAP now this show it works off
suggestions from you guys so be sure to let us know who's next to the comments
down below also let us know what you think of these new thumbnails that's
right I did it myself now if you're rich like mr. Jeff Bezos well you can also
support this channel you can become a channel member or you can visit our
patreon there are links down below alright now let's get into this video
Jeff Bezos was born on January 12 1964 in Albuquerque New Mexico the town made
famous by Breaking Bad and the house with a pizza still on its room I think
when he was born his mother Jacqueline guys Jorgensen she was a teenage high
school student and his biological father Ted Jorgensen well he didn't stay in the
picture for law four years later his mother remarried Mike Bezos a Cuban
immigrant who had come to America on his own at 16 in search of the American
dream now the family they eventually moved to Miami but Jeff he wasn't
interested in going to the clubs or to the beach now a young Jeff Bezos he was
a massive Star Trek fan and he had an early love for computers now he even
started this first business back in high school known as the dream Institute
which was an educational summer camp for kids
you were nerdy I was nerdy that hasn't changed now as I mentioned in the intro
he was also McLovin it flipping burgers but they wouldn't allow him to serve the
food because he had too much acne no he was the valedictorian of his graduating
class anyone to study computer science and electrical engineering at Princeton
University after graduation he worked on Wall Street and in 1990 he became the
youngest senior vice president at the investment firm de sha now seeing the
explosive opportunity of the Internet will he quit his job four years later
and he moved to Seattle opening an online bookstore in his garage three
years ago I was in New York City working for a quantitative hedge fund
when it came across the startling statistic that web usage was growing at
2,300 percent a year so I decided I would try and find a business plan that
made sense in the context of that growth to give you a better sense of what was
going on back in 1994 when he first started Amazon well at the movie
theaters you could catch films that include Dumb and Dumber Goodfellas
interview with the vampire and the Shawshank Redemption now with such good
movies out of the theaters who the hell would want to buy a book with
he had a plan and books were great as the first best because books are
incredibly unusual in one respect that is that there are more items in the book
category and there are items than any other category by far apparently his
parents they were shocked that he would give up a cushy Wall Street job in order
to sell books online but eventually they came around and invested a quarter
million dollars in the startup company a stake that would be worth as much as
thirty billion dollars today it was adopted father he certainly inherited
his slice of the American dream as for his biological father Ted well he was
working as a bicycle repairman until his untimely passing happened just a few
years ago yikes fellas hold on to them kids getting back
to the launch of Amazon well he released the site with no press promotion and he
was selling books across the United States and in 45 foreign countries
delivering them within 30 days two months later well the site it was
pulling in twenty thousand dollars a week which was growing faster than Bezos
had ever expected now Amazon it made its initial public offering in May of 1997
and since that day the split adjustment stock price has increased nearly
90-thousand percent now Bezos he personally invested in Google in 1998
and his $1,000,000 early investment would likely have made him a billionaire
even without his extensive Amazon Wow now this allowed him to run the company
without a profit for many years just gearing up for future growth now I've
heard a lot about your desk the door with four by fours come on what and when
you can all word a better disc in it it's a symbol of spending money on
things that matter to customers and not spending money on things that don't and
you don't need clean carpets there with the fear of other online retailers
joining the market well Amazon began diversifying its offerings
this included CDs and videos in 1998 then later clothes electronics toys and
today well there's little you can't buy on the
site Amazon flourished with yearly sales that jump from five hundred and ten
thousand dollars in 1995 to over seventeen billion in 2011
since then Jeff Bezos sees diversified the Amazon
Folio be bought up other businesses like Zappos for 1.2 billion in 2009 The
Washington Post in 2013 for 250 mil twitch for just under a billion in 2014
and Whole Foods in 2017 for 13.7 billion dollars so the guys make it some serious
Bank we can you throw around that kind of coin yeah I mean I now that we know
that he's rich rich let's take a look at what he spends his fortune on let's kick
things off with his most recent purchase of an 80 million dollar three-story
penthouse apartment located a 2-1 to Fifth Avenue in midtown Manhattan then
just for the hell of it he bought up the two units below for the extra privacy or
maybe it's for his entourage or maybe it's for his Star Trek friends maybes
got a whole bunch of Klingons down there I'm not really sure the sprawling 10,000
square foot penthouse alone has five bedrooms including a massive seven room
master suite the master bathroom has a priceless view of the Empire State
Building from the master tub the upper three floors they offer two areas for
entertaining with a wraparound Terrace and epic views of the city that never
sleeps this is what we refer to as a view and we know Bezos that previously
owned property in New York City dating back to 1999 this included three
condominiums at 25 Central Park West which I believe he gifted to his parents
all right let's roll back the clock to an earlier purchase from 1998 when he
first made a family home for himself in Medina Washington he originally spent
ten million dollars on one property which includes five bedrooms and four
bathrooms and makes up twenty thousand six hundred square feet then he later
bought up a neighboring house with another five bedrooms and four bathrooms
and another eight thousand and three hundred square feet he then invested
twenty three million dollars into renovations in 2010 and in total it sits
on 5.35 acres of land with 200 yards of private shoreline there's also a
boathouse and it's estimated to be worth 70 million dollars and don't get too
excited that you could just pop by for a visit
this property is gay so you're better off trying to like
knock on the door of one of his neighbors maybe try Bill Gates we all
know he lives around the corner and that guy is a party dude who never stops
they're just like in Medinah well beso she has two properties in Beverly Hills
right next to each other you know the first is a spanish-style property he
picked up back in 2007 for twenty four point four five million dollars this one
includes a green house a tennis court a huge swimming pool four fountains and a
six-car garage there's also plenty of celebrity neighbors so you know that's a
perk then ten years later well he bought the neighbors again now I don't know why
Jeff Bezos keeps buying up his neighbors homes the second one here cost them
twelve point nine million I don't know it sure really what it is I
do know that what me and Kara we get into a fight I gotta sleep on the couch
so maybe Bezos he just likes the comfort of knowing that well he could sleep next
door and imagine if you forget to take out the trash you know I mean Jeff Bezos
also owns a 30,000 acre ranch outside of Van Horn Texas which includes a bunker
that sleeps 12 now the property it's also the base for Bezos private space
company Blue Origin which is something we'll talk more about in just a minute
and who's running this book now we also found a former textile Museum in
Washington DC for 23 million now it's actually two joint properties merged
together and is twenty-seven thousand square feet it's actually the largest
home in the nation's capital now with the exception of Florida it looks like
Jeff Bezos he has a mansion to call home in all four corners of the United States
but even when he's traveling well the dude he be living good I mean check out
his private jet this is the Gulfstream g650 er it's the same one owned by Elon
Musk and it seats between 8 to 13 pastures now of course this is just for
his own personal use but amazon prime air they've recently invested 1.5
billion into building a new shipping hub at Kentucky and they currently have at
least 20 cargo planes in the sky and they have plans to have a total of 70 by
2021 that's how you guys get your packages on time he's not only taking up
all the land he's taking up the sky as well no on the ground Jeff Bezos
collection of cars is valued at over 20 million dollars and that's only the ones
we know about the Ferrari pit of Farina Sergio is
valued at 3 million dollars the Bugatti Veyron Matsuri is valued at 3.4 million
a W motors lykan Hypersport it's another 4 mil there's a Koenigsegg CCX our
trivita at 4.8 million and the Lamborghini veneno it costs a cool five
million dollars now these are cool now but for the future Bezos is actually
investing heavily in self-driving tech startups which could eventually you know
help Amazon get you faster and cheaper deliveries yeah he's really speeding up
the process on everything alright let's talk about his company Blue Origin which
wants to bring you to space now he's actually been working on this business
since 2000 which is two years before Elon Musk he got in on the action now
right now he's working on reusable rockets to give tourists an opportunity
to visit space but he's got bigger plans than that which include trips to the
moon we're talking civilizations that exists like floating in outer space and
essentially he wants to make the movies and the TV shows from Star Trek well a
reality it's technically and that well I got a
feeling he can do it I mean a dude that survived a divorce that cost him 36
billion dollars well he's still laughing so he can do that well you can do
anything right with that kind of attitude that man can accomplish
anything he puts his mind to as to the rest of the story well I think
I'm gonna wrap this one up here because this is the rich life then you
guys got to let me know who to document next in the comments down below and that
we could make a versus video on Jeff Bezos and Elon Musk might be an
interesting one but you let us know what's next you know where I'll see you
guys in another video
