Jeff Bezos
Bezos didn’t build Amazon by chasing customers — he built it by gaming the alphabet, the tax code, and the growth curve of the web.



Amazon is a vertically integrated infrastructure company disguised as a retailer. Its founding was opportunistic, its growth funded by reinvestment, not profit. Its dominance rests on owning the pipes — logistics, compute, storage, and distribution — not the content or brands moving through them.
