If there's one thing everybody knows about Jeff Bezos, it's that he's obscenely rich.
Bezos and Scott first met in New York while working at a Wall Street hedge fund. Bezos, tuned in to the fact that Internet commerce was the wave of the future, studied his options and decided he wanted to start an online bookstore. He took the idea to his own boss, who, according to Tom Robinson's"Jeff Bezos: Amazon.com Architect," said it was a good idea, but a better idea for someone who didn't already have a good job.
Jackie and Miguel Bezos loaned the couple the SUV in which MacKenzie drove them to Seattle, while Bezos worked on his laptop. They didn't have any particular personal ties to the city, but a friend had recommended it—and at the time online retailers didn't have to collect sales tax in states where they didn't have a physical presence. Washington was small and he wanted the rest of his customers around the country to avoid paying sales tax.
"The number one criterion was that I wanted a woman who could get me out of a third-world prison," Bezos later said, according to Richard Brandt's 2011 book"One Click: Jeff Bezos and the Rise of Amazon.com.""What I really wanted was someone resourceful. But nobody knows what you mean when you say, 'I'm looking for a resourceful woman'... Life's too short to hang out with people who aren't resourceful.
