$ 160 billion - this is the amount that the Amazon founder's fortune is estimated at. His path can hardly be repeated, but one can and should learn from his mistakes and decisions. Seven years without profit and analysts' forecasts about imminent bankruptcy - we tell how an entrepreneur managed to overcome difficulties and build a company worth more than $ 1 trillion.

Jeff Bezos is considered one of the pioneers of e-commerce. In 1994, he left his position as vice president of a Wall Street company to start his own business. Dropping everything, he moved to Seattle, where he began to develop his plan.

 

Bezos was about to name his business Cadabra, but a lawyer convinced him not to - the word was consonant with the word cadaver. Finally, the entrepreneur settled on Amazon, in honor of the largest river in the world - hence the original company logo.

 

Seattle was chosen by Bezos as headquarters. It was easy to find technicians there, and there was a huge market for book distributors in neighboring Oregon. Bezos started looking for money for the project, while programmers began developing the company's website.

The site Amazon.com began its work in 1995 and within a few months hit all kinds of Internet ratings.

Bezos currently owns 54 million shares in Amazon, bringing his fortune to more than $ 170 billion. Since the beginning of the year, the company's shares have risen 73%, including a 2.1% increase on Wednesday, August 5th.

 

Amazon has seen the highest profit in the company's 26-year history in recent months, despite investors estimating that profits will be wiped out because of the $ 4 billion cost of the health crisis.

Jeff Bezos is the first man to reach a fortune of 200 billion dollars, more precisely 204.6 billion. It happened after the capital of Amazon, the company he founded, increased by 2%. Thus, the wealth of Jeff Bezos became 90 billion higher than that of Bill Gates, who is in second place in the top of the world's rich.

 

Experts say the Amazon founder's fortune would have been even greater if he hadn't gone through the most expensive divorce in history last year. His ex-wife received 25% of the company's shares, which are now worth $ 63 billion.

The report indicates that these people collectively own more wealth than the 3.1 billion poorest people on Earth, and if they spent a million dollars every day, then their entire fortune would be spent only after 414 years. “Explosive growth in billionaire fortunes at a time when poverty is rising exposes the fundamental flaws in our economy,” Oxfam chief executive Danny Shrishkandaraja said.

Everyone knows Amazon.com, where you can order fast and convenient delivery of everything. Its creator, Jeff Bezos, promises that it will soon be possible to deliver orders in 10 minutes using aerial drones. But few have heard of Relentless.com. By typing this address in a search engine, you will be automatically redirected to Amazon.

 

The fact is that "Relentless" is one of the first names that 30-year-old Bezos came up with for his online store. The second option was "Kadabra" as part of a magic spell. But both did not pass, then Bezos simply took a dictionary from the shelf and chose one of the first words he came across - the Amazon River. Thus began one of the most successful business stories in the world. It has a bit of magic and ruthlessness.

 

Brad Stone's book "The Everything Store" is about Jeff Bezos and the Amazon era, which explores the early years of Amazon and how it evolved from an online bookstore to today's e-commerce giant. Bemorepanda have collected some interesting facts about Amazon from this book.

 

 

1. Amazon originally had a different name.

 

Jeff Bezos wanted to give his company the name Cadabra, which sounded like part of a spell.

 

But Amazon's first lawyer, Todd Tarbert, said the name was too similar to the word cadaver, which translates from English as "corpse." Customers may have misheard such a name on the phone.

 

Bezos also liked the title Relentless. By the way, if you go to Relentless.com, you will be redirected to the Amazon home page.

 

Finally, Bezos chose the name Amazon - he liked the idea of ​​naming the company after the largest river in the world. It can be seen on the original Amazon logo.

 

2. There used to be a bell in the company's office that would ring whenever someone made a purchase on Amazon

 

After a few weeks, the bell began to ring so often that it had to be removed.

 

3. Initially, Bezos opened a company in his garage. The servers required so much power that when Bezos and his wife turned on a hairdryer or vacuum cleaner in the house, they would short-circuit.

 

4. In its first month of operation, Amazon sold books to people from all 50 states of America and 45 different countries.

 

5. A little-known lichen book saved Amazon from bankruptcy.

 

Book distributors demanded to buy books in batches of ten, but Amazon didn't need that much, and the company wouldn't have enough money to buy them.

 

But in the end, there was one loophole with which it was possible to bypass this rule. Amazon began ordering one book and nine copies of some obscure lichen book that was always out of stock.

 

 

6. Bezos used to hold meetings at the Barnes & Noble bookstore.

 

In the early days of Amazon, Jeff Bezos, his wife Mackenzie, and their first employee, Shel Kafan, held meetings at a local Barnes and Noble store.

 

In 1996, Bezos met with the shopkeepers, and they said they respect him, but they are still going to launch a site that will destroy Amazon. Barnes and Noble co-founder Len Riggio wanted to call this site the Book Predator.

 

7. Jeff Bezos wanted his employees to work at least 60 hours a week.

 

Previously, the company did not know what it meant to maintain a balance between work and personal life. One of the first employees said that he worked without rest for more than eight months: he came to work early in the morning and returned late at night. He constantly rode his bike to work and completely forgot about the minibus that was parked at his house.

 

He didn’t have time to check his mail, and when he did open it, he saw several parking tickets, a notification from the tow truck and, finally, a message that his minibus was sold at an auction.

 

8. In 1998, Amazon had a very busy Christmas.

 

At that time, the company had a significant staff shortage. At Christmas time, all fulfillment center employees had to work the night shift. They called for help from friends and relatives and sometimes slept in their cars to go straight to work in the morning.

 

After this incident, Amazon promised to make sure that the next holidays the company has enough employees who would be able to fulfill the holiday orders. This is why Amazon is recruiting so many seasonal workers these days.

 

9. When eBay came along, Amazon launched its own auction site.

 

The idea failed, but Bezos liked it.

 

For $ 40,000, he bought the skeleton of a primeval cave bear and displayed it in the lobby of Amazon headquarters. This skeleton stands there to this day, and next to it is a sign "Please do not feed the bear."

 

10. Bezos enjoyed growing his company quickly, leading to chaos in Amazon's order centers.

 

In the late 90s and early 2000s, Amazon was in chaos. Centers were closed for several hours due to system failures, and mountains of goods were lying around, and the company was not ready to store new categories of products.

 

When Amazon started selling kitchen goods, it sometimes happened that the knives without the protective packaging cut the conveyor belt. The situation was extremely dangerous.

 

 

11. In early 2002, Bezos introduced the concept of a “two pizza team”.

 

He suggested that workers should work in groups of less than ten people - that's how many people can be fed with two pizzas. According to Bezos, such groups should work autonomously, they should have clear goals and a formula for assessing success.

 

12. Dissatisfied customers can send a complaint to Bezos's personal mail, and he will forward it to the right employee with a single scary "?"

 

Whenever Amazon employees receive a letter from Bezos with a question mark, they react to it like a bomb. They usually have several hours to solve the problem and prepare a detailed explanation of why it arose. The explanatory note is checked by senior managers and then redirected to Bezos himself. In this way, Bezos shows customers that their complaints are constantly reviewed by the company.

 

13. Even before Google Street View came along, Amazon had Block View.

 

In 2004, Amazon launched the A9.com search engine. The team that worked on it also began to develop a project called Block View, which would display photographs of them from the street in response to a search query about stores and restaurants. For less than $ 100,000, Amazon sent its car photographers to twenty US cities to photograph the restaurants they needed. In 2006, Amazon abandoned the project, and in 2007 Google launched Street View.

 

14. Amazon employees fought stress with primal screams.

 

During the holidays, it is especially difficult for the employees of the logistics department. In the early 2000s, Jeff Wilkie, Chief Operating Officer for Amazon, allowed anyone who was able to achieve a big goal at work to close their eyes and yell at him with all their might on the phone.

 

Some of these primal screams nearly broke his speakers, Wilkie said.

 

15. Sometimes the "protests" of employees of Amazon fulfillment centers ended in rather funny ways.

 

The working conditions in these centers are notorious and sometimes their employees have tried to go on strike. One day, a worker decided to quit his job and sat astride a conveyor belt - and so he rode all the way out of the building.

 

But the funniest story happened in 2006 with a temporary employee of a Kansas center.

 

This employee came and went at the beginning of the shift, but no one saw him during working hours. Only a week later, it was discovered that the man had made himself a lair inside a pile of empty wooden boxes. Inside, he built a bed of Amazon products, reinforced the walls with pages torn from books, and even stole ordered food. When his lair was finally discovered, the employee was fired (not surprisingly).

 

 

16. The original Amazon Kindle e-reader was codenamed "Fiona".

 

This name Kindle got from the book by Neil Stevenson "The Diamond Age". It told of a distant future in which an engineer managed to steal a rare interactive book for his knowledge-hungry daughter, Fiona. The team behind the Kindle prototype was inspired by this fictional device.

 

The team asked Bezos to keep the name Fiona, but he ended up choosing the Kindle. This word is translated as "kindle the flame", and it really liked Bezos.

 

17. Jeff Bezos is said to have hired a leadership coach to shout less at his subordinates.

 

Bezos is known for being quite harsh or sarcastic about employees who tell him something unpleasant. Rumor has it that he has hired a special assistant to help him respond to the news in a less harsh manner.

 

During one meeting, Bezos chastised employees in his usual harsh manner. He said that they were all fools and that he gave them a week to figure out what they were doing. Then he took a couple of steps, froze as if he suddenly realized something and said: "But still, you did a good job."

 

18. Bezos Realized a childhood dream.

 

Bezos founded his own space tourism company Blue Origin in 2000, decades after telling teachers and friends as a child that he wanted to be a “space entrepreneur” when he grew up.

 

19. Space enthusiast.

 

Jeff is so passionate about NASA during the Mercury and Apollo missions that he equipped and financed an underwater expedition to locate and recover the debris of Apollo rockets.

 

20. Bezos doesn't use an alarm clock.

 

He does not use an alarm clock and tends to sleep a full eight hours a night. No overnight fires or early risings for this CEO.

 

 

21. A good father.

 

As a child, Jeff was adopted by his stepfather Miguel Bezos. Today, the entrepreneur has four children with his wife Mackenzie: three sons and a daughter, whom the couple adopted in China.

 

22. He has come a long way.

 

As a teenager, Bezos worked at McDonald's, making French fries. At the same time, he founded a small summer camp for primary school students DREAM Institute.

 

23. Demanding to women.

 

Jeff had high demands on candidates for the role of a life partner. In an interview with Wired, he said that he was looking for one that "will get him out of the trap of the Third World."

 

24. Altruist, but not strong.

 

Originally from Albuquerque, Jeff studied at Princeton. There he studied electrical engineering and computer science. In 2011, he donated $ 15 million to the university to build a center for the study of neurological disorders.

 

At the same time, being the richest man on earth, Bezos is ranked last in the ranking of the top 10 billionaire benefactors.

 

25. A big fan of reading.

 

Bezos's favorite book is The Remains of the Day by Kazuo Ishiguro.

 

 

26. Customers come first.

 

If you have any complaints or suggestions, just email jeff@amazon.com. Receiving emails to this mail, Bezos forwards the question to the person in charge at the company, who then reports directly to the CEO on the progress of the issue. So the problem is under control.

 

27. Bezos made the first tables for himself and Amazon employees himself.

 

He could not afford expensive furniture at the beginning of the journey, so he put together tables for the first employees himself, using wooden doors instead of tabletops and boards for legs. Now these tables have become something of an artifact at the company - for over 20 years at Amazon, they have been using various variations of that historically simple design for the desktop.

 

The company even instituted the Door Desk Awards, which give creators "good ideas to offer consumers the lowest prices."

 

28. Bezos is not a fan of expensive cars.

 

Despite the fact that after the founding of Amazon, Bezos' business rapidly went uphill, he did not, like many, buy yachts and expensive cars for himself and for a long time remained faithful to his 1987 Chevrolet Blazer, which at first personally delivered deliveries. In 1997, when the company went public, he finally swapped out his old car for the new Honda Accord.

 

29. Bezos once looked into the eyes of death.

 

In 2003, Jeff Bezos practically looked death in the eye. He was looking for land to build a test site for Blue Origin when his helicopter crashed on a tour of Texas. The Amazon CEO received a number of minor injuries and recovered quickly, but after that he did not fly helicopters for a long time.

 

“Nothing special occurred to me. I was only thinking about what a stupid way to die, ”Bezos told Fast Company in 2004.

 

It didn't become some kind of life-defining experience for me. I’m afraid I’ve learned a rather mundane lesson: Avoid helicopters whenever possible! They are not as reliable as air transport with wings. "

 

30. Bezos is an Early Investor in Google.

 

Less than five years after founding Amazon, Bezos demonstrated his investment flair by investing $ 1 million in Google in the late 90s. Then it was a serious risk, which by now has paid off handsomely.

As required by the "code" of any actor, they must be able to be someone else on the set. During their careers, artists often transform into many characters, ranging from the unusual to the notorious villains. And only really talented actors manage to capture that vivid image of their movie heroes (or antiheroes), which takes the audience from the very first frame. And one of those is film actor Evan Peters, who has a deep and believable performance in the Netflix series Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story and the documentary Conversations with a Killer: The Jeffrey Dahmer Tapes.

 

Movie heroes given to us by Evan Thomas Peters (Spoiler: he played the killer, Jeffrey Dahmer).

 

Bemorepanda decided to dig and inquire about this movie star, putting together some of his best roles in film and television.

 

1. Kai Anderson in American Horror Story: Cult

Kai is probably one of the most entertaining characters Peters has played to date. Some viewers believe that Kai is the scariest character the actor has ever played.

 

Kai Anderson is the main antagonist of Season 7, a terrifying mixture of toxic masculinity and manipulative charisma. He is quite mentally unstable and is so obsessed with power that he uses fear to manipulate people into causing chaos to bring about change.

 

Peters had a particularly hard time filming this season, with the script moving Kai's character from violent to traits that only people with severe mental disabilities have. He seeks to seize power at any cost. His motto is: "Most of all people love fear." Despite all the complexity and ambiguity of the character, the actor absolutely managed to cope with the transformation into the terrifying leader of the sect.

 

 2. Detective Colin Zabel in Mare of Easttown

Starring opposite Kate Winslet in Mare of Easttown, Peters plays Colin Zabel, who is called in as a county detective to help investigate Meir (Winslet). Unlike the creepy anti-hero in American Horror Story, Peters' character on the show is simpler, a no-nonsense young man struggling with impostor syndrome for claiming responsibility for a case he didn't actually solve.

 

The actor managed to find his way into the hearts of the audience with his character, proving that the role of a charming, good guy is just as important to him as his many villains he played.

 

3. Jimmy Darling in American Horror Story: Freak Show

Jimmy Darling, also known as the Lobster Boy, is another strong role in the cult series. In this episode, his character was born with deformed arms (many in his family had "crab limbs"). As a result, the character of Peters found himself in a freak show, where people with disabilities performed. But Jimmy did not like the life of a freak, and almost immediately began to dream of leaving the freak show to live a normal life.

 

According to the plot of the film, the unusual and courageous character Jimmy is fighting to ensure that "freaks" are considered ordinary people. Peters did a great job with the role. By the way, this is one of the most harmless characters of the actor in his entire film career.

 

4. Alex in Adult World (2013)

In Adult World, Peters stars for the first time with Emma Roberts. The film tells the story of naive college graduate Amy Anderson, who, confident that she is destined to become a great poet, accepts a job in a store. There she meets Alex...

 

In this film, Peters plays a completely normal person, proving to us that he can well transform not only into the manic leaders of the sect, but also can adequately portray a soft and gentle guy.

 

5. Warren Lipka in the crime drama American Animals

In American Animals, based on a true story, Peters plays Warren Lipka, a man who, along with three accomplices, commits a library heist that took place at Transylvania University in Lexington in 2004. Lipka is the ringleader of a gang of robbers, charismatic but cold-blooded and definitely a thrill-seeker.

 

Peters once again delivers his amazing charismatic performance, bringing his character to life in a way that no one else could.

 

6. Mr. Gallant in American Horror Story: Apocalypse

Series creator Ryan Murphy gave Peters a break this season. In it, Peters plays Mr. Gallant, a barber and fashionista who likes to wear a silk scarf around his neck and tries to survive in a post-apocalyptic world.

 

The frivolous character of the actor definitely added a touch of humor to the gloomy series. We don't know another actor who could play this character with such humor.

 

7. Ralph Bowner in the WandaVision miniseries

The appearance of the character in WandaVision by Ralph Bowner, played by Peters, definitely grabbed the attention of the audience and made people discuss the cult situation comedy that was made by the Marvel Film Studios.

 

Peters gave his character a fantastic, whimsical and uplifting energy. Especially in scenes with children. Also, the actor's game reminded of the old popular sitcoms, which were distinguished by excellent acting and a unique atmosphere.

 

8. Jeffrey Dahmer in Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story

Evan's portrayal of a serial killer is so believable that his role really scares the audience as much as possible. We don't understand how Peters managed to transform into a complex character on set, showing the killer from all angles. It's incredibly creepy, weird, and definitely very wicked. The actor in all scenes is incredibly convincing.

 

9. Keith Walker in American Horror Story: Asylum

In Asylum, Peters finally managed to play the victim rather than the villain. Keith Walker's (gas station worker) life is turned upside down when aliens abduct him and his wife. But after the kidnapping, his hero is unfairly accused of killing his wife and two other women and sent to a psychiatric hospital at the Briarcliff estate. As a result, he is accused of being the serial killer Bloody Face.

 

We personally really enjoyed Peter's performance as Keith. He made the character in American Horror Story: Asylum really likable, eliciting a lot of sympathy from viewers for him.

 

Despite the fact that initially filmmakers leave you guessing about Keith's true guilt, the audience worried about him until the end.

 

10. Jack Daniels in One Tree Hill

Did you know that Evan Peters starred in the youth television series One Tree Hill? He played a difficult teenage schoolboy. Peters was on the show for a total of six episodes, playing a malicious and humorous character throughout the season. Oh, it's also pretty sweet to see that this artist has romance in his head!

 

11. Todd in Kick-Ass

Remember the supporting role that Peters played in the first Kick-Ass movie? He played Todd Haynes, the best friend of the main character Dave Lizewski, played by Aaron Taylor-Johnson. Despite the fact that the role of Evan is secondary, his work on the set showed his acting potential.

 

12. James Patrick March in American Horror Story: Hotel (also the same character was in Apocalypse)

James Patrick March was a hell of a character, and once again Peters did it 100%. Mr. March, appearing in the Hotel season and later in the Apocalypse series, is one of the most formidable and significant villains that Peters plays.

 

March, a serial killer, built the Cortez Hotel, which he called a killer's paradise. The hotel had secret rooms, rooms, rooms and many other terrible things! After his suicide, his ghost remains at the hotel and he continues to torment and haunt victims from the afterlife.

 

Peters is exceptional at playing the killer. I wonder who could play a murderer just as perfectly, especially when his hero smiles sweetly, laughs and has fun on the eve of a brutal murder?

 

13. Stan Bowes in Pose

Peters plays Stan Bowes in the first season of Pose. Bowes is an ordinary family man working for a Trump-owned company to provide for his family, but as he adjusts to his new profession, he meets Angela Evangelista (India Moore) and the two begin a secret romance.

 

This role is unusual for Peters, and it was great to see how he gets an unusual experience in his acting career, perfectly playing his character, who, according to the plot, is very complicated and with his own "cockroaches" in his head.

 

14. Luke in The Office

Did you know that Evan Peters starred in an episode of The Office in season 7?! Peters appears on the show as the nephew of Michael Scott (Steve Carell).

 

In an attempt to bring his family closer together, Scott invites his nephew Luke to work as an assistant. Well, in typical Michael Scott fashion, his plan backfires, and it turns out that Luke is lazy and an employee, so to speak, not very much.

 

15. Dwight Chapin in Elvis & Nixon

Elvis & Nixon is a comedy-drama about the untold true story of the meeting between Elvis Presley and President Richard Nixon. Peters plays Dwight Chapin, White House aide Bud Krogh (played by Colin Hanks).

 

Result? While not his biggest role, Peters certainly did a convincing and cool performance as a White House worker.

 

16. Tate Langdon in American Horror Story: Murder House and Apocalypse

Tate Langdon is one of the most complex and evil characters on American Horror Story, played by Peters. His hero, tormented by dark secrets and a split personality, is a rather evil character.

 

Spoiler: Tate is one of the many ghosts stranded in the killer's house. When he was alive, he set off a mass shooting at his high school, and when he died, he raped Vivienne Harmon, all the while trying to seduce her daughter Violet. His attack on Vivien results in the birth of the Antichrist.

 

It is later revealed that Satan was influencing Tate and using him as a pawn.

 

17. Clay in the horror movie "The Lazarus Effect"

In this 2015 horror film, a team of medical researchers find a way to bring dead patients back to life.

 

Playing a lab bum, Peters has shown incredibly convincingly that smoking e-cigarettes is life threatening.

 

18. Kyle Spencer in American Horror Story: Coven

Poor Peters had a hard time filming all the parts of American Horror Story, including the season of Coven. His character, Kyle Spencer, was killed by the witch Madison Montgomery (Emma Roberts) when she telekinetically overturned the bus he was traveling in.

 

When he is resurrected by the witches, Evan Kyle's smart, caring and pleasant enough character turns from an ordinary teenager into something like Frankenstein's monster.

 

19. Charles Manson in American Horror Story: Cult

Evan Peters played five cult leaders in American Horror Story: Cult, and they were all crazy and terrible! Of course, the character Kai is one of the best played by a talented actor, but the role of Charles Manson is in no way inferior.

 

In addition to the macabre personality of the iconic criminal, Peters plays the killer incredibly accurately, speaking in a slight southern American accent and showing the audience scary, demented eyes. But there are elements of black humor in Charles Manson when he jokes sharply. Another amazing performance by Peter.
