Amazon founder Bezos is getting taller and taller. what has changed?

Seattle-Last weekend, Jeff Bezos attended the Golden Globe Awards with Hollywood celebrities such as Harry Berry and Chris Hemsworth. Last February, he walked the red carpet with Meryl Streep and Tom Hanks to attend the screening in Washington post.

Last Friday, Bezos and his wife Mackenzie publicly donated $33 million. The recipient is a non-profit organization dedicated to providing university scholarships for young immigrants who arrived in the United States illegally as children, the so-called "dreamers". Last year, from June 5438 to 10, he won an award for donating money to the marriage equality movement.

Jennifer Cast, an Amazon executive, contributed to the donation. When she presented the award, she said they could choose to donate anonymously. "However, our public donation is not only an act of donation, but also Jeff's proposal."

She added: "By allowing us to make this donation public, people will soon know that Jeff Bezos supports marriage equality."

These public appearances and donations show another side of Bezos.

When he made Amazon one of the most valuable companies in the world, Bezos gained a reputation as an outstanding but mysterious and cold-blooded corporate giant. He prefers to keep a low profile in Seattle, where Amazon is headquartered, at least in part because he thinks Amazon can develop its business better and avoid participating in public affairs and social activities to the greatest extent.

However, 53-year-old Bezos is now the richest man in the world, worth more than? With a net worth of $654.38+000 billion, he can afford any luxury goods, and such a person cannot be unknown.

Amazon is currently valued at more than 600 billion US dollars, and has joined the ranks of "technology giants" together with Apple, Google and Facebook under Alphabet. These companies are facing a strong impact. Amazon is under strict scrutiny, and critics think it has a bad influence on work and competition. Moreover, President Trump especially hates Bezos. He always uses Twitter to ridicule Bezos and Amazon.

"People are starting to fear Amazon," said steve case, co-founder of AOL. He recently founded an investment fund, which focuses on serving startups in underdeveloped areas, and Bezos is also involved. "If Jeff continues to lurk in Seattle, he will suffer more criticism. Even if it is only for defensive reasons, he must attack now. "

Bezos' other portfolios further pushed him into the spotlight. Four years ago, he bought Washington post for $250 million, which started the recovery of the paper media. In 20 16, Bezos bought a house worth $23 million in Washington. Houses in one of the most expensive areas in the city are undergoing a large-scale renovation, which makes them suitable gathering places for the city's political class. Nearby neighbors include former President Obama and his family, Trump's daughter Ivanka Trump and her husband Jared Kushner.

Bezos' space startup Blue Origin is also further entering the public eye, creating another stage for Bezos. This company tries to save the planet we live in by removing the heavily polluted heavy industry from the earth.

Bezos stood next to the reusable spacecraft designed by Blue Origin, which helped to expand his exposure.
