Amazon Web Services has been the latest and arguably largest jewel in the companies capital asset crown. The low cost of hardware components, i.e. transistors, correlated with the growing ubiquity of smart devices has been their smartest business move so far.

Amazon does what the consumer wants and takes the hit for it and gains in the long run. They changed the way companies interact with people and any company that won't change will lose.
This short documentary did not mention one key factor that hugely contributed to Amazon's success. Amazon's affiliate program, with it Amazon was able to put itself in front of millions of customers without spending a dime on advertising. Sure they paid commissions but after a sale was made, which was way better than paying up in front for ads and not knowing how many sales ads would generate. Brilliant if you ask me.
Investing the first 300k in a company is extremely risky. I wonder how much the net worth of his parents was at this time.

One thing I admire is that he kept his profit low, his strategy is what put him where he is

Underrated comment. Not many understand this!
And now he's the richest man in the world. From position 30 to 1. From a net worth of $18B to $155B!
Notice one thing in common with microsft and amazon how they got started? A few $100,000s...back in the 90's which is worth more today. Not demeaning that gates and bezos don't deserve their massive success (they also worked very hard) but the difference between them and other entrepreneurs that you have never heard of is that they didn't get that initial critical capital. Many other people even before them started PC companies/internet sales....except they didn't have the cash to explode.
Awesome! Finally found it here. I thought it was only available at the Bloomberg website. Happy to see it one playlist.

Not invented. A lot of its success happened organically. Amazon kept growing and there came a time that he saw the need to host its own servers and well the rest is history. For instance, if you start selling books and then realize that you need to in fact buy a warehouse to store those books and the need keeps growing, then you get that "aha moment" when you realize smaller "mom pops shops" needs a facility to store their product and you rent out a portion of your huge warehouse. It happened organically and much of Amazons success is due to AWS.

This documentary feels like it was written years before it was placed on KZread. The most glaring omission is Amazon Web Services and its contribution to Amazon's bottom line. All this talk about razor thin margins, which was true for a long time, but is no longer true given the profit margins and growth that AWS provides. Maybe this fact wasn't abundantly true in 2014-15? AWS is what finally led me to invest in Amazon for the long term.
JEFF BEZOS IS GENIUS GUYS. W H A T A V I S I O N !!!

Amazon is a cult. I live in Seattle and he has taken over swaths of land, gentrified the city and smaller towns, raised home prices, raised traffic levels and, has done nothing for our increasing homeless population. He does not have any charitable operations in place unless, he see's some sort of benefit. He does not pay pickers or delivery drivers, as much as they deserve. And now he is using third party stressed out drivers, that are to deliver pkgs in ONE day, that way he doesn't have to pay auto insurance or medical benefits. He's pretty much loathed here in Seattle. And Yes, he is all about world domination. He's outsmarted and out maneuvered everyone. Even the state or Washington by not having to pay taxes.
