I wonder if Bezos would have been able to set and achieve this target if he was still married to MacKenzie. P.S. Have gone through the quotes to my post and still couldn't find any valid response to my question, apart from the expected invectives aimed at my intellect and my parents (beats me how the matter concerns them). Those quotes I do not deem worthy of any response. This is why I asked my question: Mackenzie Scott (formerly Bezos) holds a B.A in English obtained from Princeton in 1992, is described as an author and has two book titles to her name. She is credited with having assisted Bezos in setting up Amazon and later stepping back to focus on her literary career and family. A career that has produced two books in 2005 & 2013. Amazon was founded by Bezos in his garage in 1994 and started business as an online marketplace for the sale of books before expanding to include electronics and several other consumer products, web services, food and a whole lot of products and tech/services that the internet behemoth is known for today. It has over 40 subsidiaries in various sectors almost all of which utilize industry-leading web technology to deliver their services. I'm trying to picture how Ms. Mackenzie with B.A English (no offence intended to our English graduates please) and two novels, features in all of these. In 2019, Ms. Mackenzie divorced her husband on the grounds of infidelity and walked away with $36Bn worth of Amazon stock. It's now worth $60Bn because of the share price growth, making her the world's richest woman. Barely a year later, she got married to a school teacher. Blue Origin was founded as far back as 2000. Has been conducting unmanned suborbital and orbital flights since 2015, but every manned flight since 2018 kept being postponed. Bezos gets his divorce and boom, he's moving ahead and has flown to space. I'm trying to imagine the ex-wife's reaction if they were still living together and he came back one night to tell her that he would be flying out of the earth. There are some really gifted individuals that are so driven, family life only hinders true actualisation of their potentials. Someone like Elon Musk who used to sleep at his Tesla office (I think he still does) is just one of so many. Jeff Bezos is another glaring example. It might interest you to know that Bezos isn't even his father's (Ted Jorgensen), but adopted Papa' name. Talk for another day. I was expecting a reasonable response to my earlier question, but I guess only the irrational ones were the quick to respond. 149 Likes 17 Shares |

According to scientists, the Earth will become so hot & inhabitable in future. At same time, planet Mars will become warm enough to sustain human life. So humans will be able to migrate to Mars. Lol! Maybe then, only the poor who can't afford the migration will be left back on planet Earth to perish. 9 Likes |

A Lady asked me if 'Arsenal' is a movie series, and i said no. But I was wondering why she asked such a question and she later said to me that it's because their fans are always waiting for next season. 41 Likes 2 Shares |
