Even in 1999, Bezos was likely a billionaire several times over. (Simon asked Bezos later in the segment about being worth $9 billion to $10 billion dollars — a figure which Bezos neither confirmed nor denied.) So why the makeshift workspace?

I'm shocked Yahoo was worth 4.6B in 2016.

Shouldn’t that first pic say 1994 instead of 1999?

Yahoo is a textbook example of "bad decision making".

I had the chance to buy shares in 1999 of amazon @ 75 dollars a share. i was poor back then and could have only purchased like 20 shares but needed the money.So i didnt buy.Literally seconds from pulling the trigger. My biggest blunder in my stock market trading Not that im any good at it anyway .Hell i bought enron stock tells you how much i know

I do think Nurse is correct though . i think they were bigger in 1999 than that photo would indicate.

it's because they own a lot of tech patents. It's certainly not because of the user portfolio

Check out some JD.com stock. It’s an Amazon like company in China (but much more technologically advanced), and it’s stock price hasn’t exploded yet. By my calculations, buying this stock now would be similar to buying Amazon at the $100 level.

JD.COM vs Amazon

Feel free to PayPal me your stack and I’ll invest in this for you and give you an annual update.
