In early 2021, Jeff Bezos announced he would be stepping down as CEO of
Amazon.com (NASDAQ: AMZN). He will transition to Executive Chairman of Amazon and stay engaged with the company.
The move is seen as giving Bezos time to commit to other projects like Day 1 Fund, Bezo’s Earth Fund, Blue Origin and The Washington Post.
Here are five fun facts you might not know about Jeff Bezos, the founder of Amazon.com.
1. Studied Computer Science/Electrical Engineering: Bezos attended Princeton University where he studied both computer science and electrical engineering. He graduated Summa Cum Laude in 1986.
The studies came years after Bezos turned his parent’s garage into a laboratory and rigged electrical contraptions around the house as a child. One of Bezos early science projects was creating an electric alarm for his room to keep his half-siblings out.
