World’s richest man reveals what his boss said while quitting his job to start Amazon

Amazon founder and CEO Jeff Bezos and also the world’s richest man in his testimony before the US Congress revealed a lot about his personal life and struggles he faced to start Amazon and take it to where it is now. Bezos was working at an investment firm in New York City with a good pay when the idea of starting Amazon came to him, back in 1994.
“The idea of building an online bookstore with millions of titles—something that simply couldn’t exist in the physical world—was exciting to me,” he said in his testimony before the Subcommittee on Antitrust, Commercial, and Administrative Law.
When Bezos told his boss at the investment firm that he was quitting to start Amazon, his boss thought it was a “better idea” for someone else without a good job to start Amazon.
