Born in New Mexico, USA in 1964, Jeff Bezos studied electrical engineering and computer science at university. After graduating, Bezos started working in finance, but in the 1990s he realized that the internet was growing rapidly and decided to start a business. He then founded Amazon.com in 1994 with the idea of an online bookstore.
Amazon, which initially sold only books, later included many types of products such as electronic products, toys, food and clothing. Thus, the company, which makes more profit, has also made serious investments in cloud computing.
