If Amazon ever starts making money Bezos will really get rich.


thats not how it works. his wealth is intrinsically tied to stock, not company profits.

if amazon started making a profit due to market saturation instead of growth, the stock would likely stagnate or even drop making him less wealthy.

investors love them some growth companies, not companies who have peaked.

They had a big miss on their earnings today, and they still made 200 million dollars. They've had net earnings of almost 3.3 billion since the beginning of last year.

They've posted net earnings every quarter since Q4 of 2014. Obviously the margins are slim (1 or 2 percent), but they are growing quickly and consistently making a profit.
