If you ask a small child what they want to be when they grow up, odds are you will get the answer from some, “the richest person in the world”. Well, there can only be one of those people at any given time and the subject of today’s show is not only chart-topping rich, but he’s also changed the way the world buys things. Jeff Bezos started Amazon from a garage in Seattle and has transformed it into something many of us depend on to get pretty much everything we buy, from paper towels to sex toys. But how has Bezos, along with his company, Amazon, transformed over the years to keep up? What kind of stuff do you buy when you’re the richest man in the world? How much does it cost to transform into an X-Men bad guy lookalike? We’ll dive into this and more in the Jeff Bezos episode of AHC Podcast.
