Jeff Bezos : Jeffrey Preston Jorgensen : el genio visionario y controvertido detrás de Amazon

Historias, curiosidades y anécdotas que definen y nos muestran la evolución de un personaje totalmente poliédrico. Jeff Bezos es el padre de Amazon. Es el genio más grande que ha habido en los negocios desde Rockefeller. Un tipo con un talento desbordante y un ejemplo digno de emular o el peor CEO del mundo según los sindicatos. Bezos sueña con llevar un día a toda la humanidad fuera de este planeta llamado Tierra, tan «aburridamente agotado». Lleva una década compitiendo en su particular carrera espacial con el otro gran ultramillonario de nuestra era, Elon Musk. Ambos saben que el negocio del futuro se jugará ahí. El 28 de abril de 2021 el patrimonio de Bezos se disparó a 201 000 millones de dólares. No todos perdieron en la pandemia. Este libro viaja por la caja negra de su vida y nos ofrece algunos detalles hasta ahora desconocidos de su controvertida historia. Bezos es el niño abandonado por su padre que recuerda cómo le cambió la vida el ver a los cinco años a Neil Armstrong pisar la Luna, el joven friki fanático de Star Trek que les contó a sus compañeros de la escuela secundaria que quería salvar la Tierra enviando a millones de sus habitantes al espacio; el joven que fue un lobo en Wall Street y lo dejó todo para crear una empresa que vendería libros por Internet cuando menos del 1 % de la población mundial estaba conectada a la Red, y el hombre que cambió las formas de consumir en occidente, que se convertirá en la persona más rica de la historia de la humanidad y que sueña con salvarla. Pero ¿quién es realmente Jeffrey Preston Jorgensen?
