Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos Live Interview at the Economic Club of Washington - Sept. 13, 2018 | CNBC
Is he the wealthiest person in the world? Or the wealthiest person in the world whose wealth is something that can be estimated/discussed publicly?
Jeff Bezos is acutually greater than Amazon itself. great interview, and very honest, and open about most stuff
The most scary thing here is the economic and financial illiteracy in the comments.
It is very unfortunate but I suppose, it is not total surprise.
Correction~ Says a guy who owns no gaming system on his lunch break, at his own apartment.
Bezo has the biggest rich man's laugh
Nikola Tesla stated that intuition was the highest form of intelligence ;)
Benjamin youngman Tesla died penniless
doesnt change the fact that he was the most genius man in recorded history. he would laugh at u for associating the quality of life lived with amont of wealth accumulated.
A lot of intelligent men do, i just think its interesting that the wealthiest man today has touched on a point that one of the most intelligent minds to ever lived also addressed. It is a shame that he struggled. Though it is more of a shame if we do not learn from him.
Ray Gunsmith how do you quantify genius?
Ray Gunsmith I laugh at the irony two men who uphold the importance of intuition and one ends up the wealthiest man in history and one ends up with nothing
So many people are quick to criticize Bezos... but what I wonder is how many of the very same people shop on Amazon & have a prime membership who wouldn't give it up to shop elsewhere. I'm not hating on the guy either but rather, have a lot of admiration for him.
Hey Mark, are you saying you stopped shopping on Amazon & use eBay exclusively because he became the world's richest man? Also, Bezos' plan is to reinvest into Blue Origin so that we can become a multi planetary species, as far as he claims, which is all one can go on. The point being, we & he might not ever really know the impact of what being able to do that means, but it sure is a better plan than what most humans are doing. Same thing applies to Elon Musk. The world's richest people didn't set out to become the world's richest people, they were just lucky to end up there. That comes with a level of responsibility you or I will never have to worry about. Happy shopping on eBay tho.
Who you think you are to decide what rational purchases made by "the market" are is where I see myself out of this conversation. Bye bye Mark.
It's rare to have such humour on stage .... The interviewer is amazing... In short this whole interview is autobiography of Jeff
Great interview, love the grass roots up bringing.
Really interesting interview, many great insights from this intelligent and thoughtful man
1:04:36 Interviewer: "So lets talk about your wife" Bezos: "Ehhhh Yeah.....Yeahhhh.......Yeah. What's the question? (In his head thinking about those text messages)
He's worried that the interviewer might have figured out that she was forced to divorce him because his performance metrics were so low.
This was awesome. Im truly inspired to keep building my own business.
Great interview! Incredible what he accomplished and what his mom had to go through.
Don't pay attention to what he says, the key thing to learn if you want to be like him is how to lie out every orifice. That's the secret.
Amazon is seriously great.. you can tell they're very focused on the customer
As a customer Nick, does it matter to you that the richest company in the world can't even pay it's workers livable wages? That tax payers have to make up for?
Well, I've seen people talk about this everywhere. No body is providing evidence to back up their statements though. Also, every time an organization or person becomes giant there will always be talk about them. Some accurate... some inaccurate. Like Bezo said, "If its true about you change, if its not true don't let it upset you." He also said, "If you're not prepared for that type of talk from people, you're company doesn't deserve to become big."
It's totally natural for people to analyze big companies.. and they should. Bezo is providing great service. God Bless Bezo and hope he becomes richer!!
great service but for employees terrible culture
They pay them about the same as every other shipping company so.....
I always think of myself as a smart educated person till I hear this man n Steve Jobs but it’s not just smartness. Philanthropy n caring about education n poverty. Love you !!!
great interview. inspiration to many entrepreneurs
People love to compare Jeff Bezos to Elon Musk. When they do, they often point out the fact that Musk runs several companies while Bezos only runs one. That ignores the fact that Bezos successfully runs Amazon the ecommerce store, Amazon web services, Blue origin and to some extent the Washington Post. Very impressive guy!
Best interview with bezos I have seen to date
That's soo true, and trust me I have watched a lot of his interviews.
I will join the economics club of Washington DC in the future years.
What an absolute legend.
legend in a positive way or negative? This guy uses people for almost minimum wage pay and huge health problems with that people are suffering! You need to work in the warehouse breaking your back and now with lack of COVID-19 safety protocol . When you work for Amazon then tell people who great AMAZON is then!
Very helpful interview covering a lot of stuff
From Early days of Amazon, childhood, family, kids, life, business, Trump, Bill Gates, richest man in the world, Washington post, blue origin, whole foods and just bezos' abstract ideas about humanity and the universe.
Learned a lot
Great interview. Very helpful
The interview is clever. He definitely keeps Bezos on his toes :)
absolutely great interviewer!
The audio is so low i have to swallow my food whole just to hear it all lol
Maytane Winner nah just your speaker are broke
at 24' -- It's not Yoshantha, it is Yasantha Rajakarunanayake who is Senior Director of Technology at MediaTek in the SF Bay Area
If we write 24:00 it creates a link
Excellent interview and commentary .. thank you Amazon CEO and founder Jeff Bezos ..!!
hi, how are you?
WHAT WAS THE PARTIAL DIFFERENTIAL EQUATION JEFF
Great info - Thanks
He's truly number one man in the universe , not only at net worth ....
haha
Thanks!
Bezos comes across as an optimist. That is great, and is an inspiration. He obviously has fun with his work.
He's optimistic that one day he will own your bollocks.
a living legend
26:27 who immediately Googled "Yosanta princeton" or "yosanta theoretical physicist" after listening to this story?
It's Yasantha
Dr. Yasantha Rajakarunanayake to be exact
😂😂@@AbracadabraFC
A very humble yet entrepreneurial man.
In the end when he was talking about 1trillion humans in the solar system, really imagine 1,000 Einstein's lol
Nice interview

Honestly I kind of hate how amazon is overvalued as a stock but I love how humble and honest he is lol
Great talk
Great video! You are awesome
Yes Mr. Bezos for Great ideas about Economic schedule
Yep...Amazon HQ2 is going to the other Washington.
Great interview!!
I just found this video now (oops, I am late). I was doing research about "who owns the media". We should not have a world with such enormous equality (we should all be asking "how did we get here?". It is frightening how much power a handful of individuals now have. They can (and do!) take large chunks of profits ($billions) and invest in "philanthropy". For instance, lot of powerful people have created Foundations that serve a couple of purposes. First, their "projects" allow them to hang on to, and work with a lot of money that really is unpaid tax $, and secondly, it allows them to influence some area of particular interest. We are now in a dangerous situation where unelected people are shaping our institutions, our culture and our world... because they have the money (power) to do so. That being said, I cannot help but like Jeff Bezos from this (excellent) interview. What he said about "intuition" and "heart" blew me away. He is pointing out our humanity and the importance of those qualities, and whether consciously or not, he is talking about the soul. These are things that I am discussing in a book I am currently writing, and I believe that what he said is enormously important. I am surprised and impressed by this interview. It is actually is giving me a bit of hope, that not all powerful men become changed by money and power, and start developing a god complex, reducing other people to mere objects. Maybe not every person who achieves so much power has to lose (or sell) their soul along the way. I guess we can wait and see.
Bello 😍❤ jeff Bezzos. Cariño jeff eres u E.T. 😅 cuanto genio tienes.
It's almost like I'm watching a late night comedy show. With all the crowd laughs. Sorta seems like a cult.
Ur nuts
They made jokes and people laughed genius that’s not a cult
His tie knot is huge.
Great man i loved the Yosantha's story
lollol....a sri lankan....,,smartest guy at princeton...!! my cousin was a prineton math grad too///lolol...
Jeff Besos is great. He earned his status and his riches, he worked hard for it. He is a model for anyone willing to pursue his or her dreams.
" he worked hard for it." Of course he didn't. hE set up Amazon by bullying publishers into giving him all the info about their books and the cover images for free. He also forced them to give him rights to that info in perpetuity. Now that he's moved beyond books he gets all that info from manufacturers. And he employs people to do all the dirty work for him and he traats them like slaves.
Thks much for sharing. Having overcome a great many years of profound self-sacrifices, achieved an incredible personal breakthrough, progress in technology, wealth, power, and conventional fame to this date; however, many great men, women, and the whole world continue neglecting and unable to identify some of the greatest, most meaningful, and much more needed projects to timely rescue and heal the many internal, desperately state illnesses, wounded physical, mental, and spirits of the people throughout the world, not in space or Mars. *** What is it and when?
Best wishes always, altc, Paideia Academy & Society
Hold ur calls boiz!
Evelyn. Thank you, Mr. Jeff Bezos
Its nice to see that Mr Bezos is a regular Human being
Brilliant guy
Every time you buy anything from Amazon or hold a prime subscription, you are literally giving money to him. (Funding his choices which includes pay for employees). All I'm saying is your money speaks louder. Bezos understands his customers and delivers. Good Business.
Yeah, it's a good business in the sense that most of the customer's money goes to him and his stockholders, not really his employees.
That is why you start a business. And to answer your question, who took the risk in the business?
What's individually rational(shopping on Amazon) is collectively disastrous.
Alan - It’s his business, therefore he runs it as he sees fit.
WOW
The interviewer made this interview
Even though the gold price increased in 2018, the top gold miners production declined while costs continue to escalate. Output at three of the top gold miners in the world fell in the first half of 2018 compared to the same period last year.
That means that theirs less gold to mine aye ahhhh gotta hord it all
Imagine Jeff Bezos running for president
whats the point for a credit card for him lmao
Jeff sounds like a Californian duuude
10:25 How can he cut off a billionare like David Rubenstein just like that?
Because compared to Jeff, he's irrelevant.
We're so blessed to have people like Jeff, bill and elon alive, such inspiration!
Jeff should run for president seems like a man that would get stuff done
Great job Jeff
Go Sri Lanka!!!!!!
bezos sometime sounds like that radical turtle from finding nemo LOL
I have always been skeptical of bald men
you are so rich(yet divorcing) you lost. not because of anything. The labor is basically like Slavery.
31:36 lmfaooo
world's oldest man. loved it !!!!!!
La perfección de su servicio es su esencia
"My dad is my real dad, not my biological dad" - Nice :D

I wish the interviewer ask him ,if Mr.. Bezos prepared the company in case of tragic event happens to him,who will continue his legacy
L/
56:54 - I knew he is an alien.... He grew up in Mars..... or has spent some time there!!
volume.....hello...
I absolutely love the insights of Jeff Bezos.... truly one of my heroes and AMAZING HUMAN!
TRAVIS I BELIEVE YOU CAN BECOME A BILLIONAIRE. AND IF THATS YOUR AIM YOU WILL. I BELIEVE IN YOU. Ignore that peon. Keep thriving..
Jesus, do you even know that most people working at Amazon are paid minimum wage and pee in bottles just to do crazy targets? His wealth is built on modern slavery.
If they have the freedom to leave and find other jobs, then they are not slaves.
The thing is. They are paid so little because of replacibility in economy. On such a large scale, just a little increase would slow down amazon and make the service way worse for millions. I get what you mean, but we have to take that into account :)
I was astonished by Travis Huff s comment. Most employers offer decent working conditions, while the richest man in the world cannot afford to do it. How is Bezos a hero and an amazing human?
Why is David Rubenstein not in the picture?
2:22 incredible thought. We couldn't agree more.
He's really good. I thought he was "nuts" and I had to change my mind. They forgot we are not able to keep focus for more than 20 minutes. It was boring though he's good. Congrats.
38:57 Thats my ex-boss :)

YES Good bay
At the Washington Post who is the customer? It's the CIA, err, I mean, the reader...
This isn't Howie Mandell?
Some people say he is evil but i think he just lucky and smart and lucky and use law to increase his wealth
I think you should continue to forge ahead and do not stop you are doing well congratulations

Amazing business wisdom in here ... Thanks!
p.s. UNTIL WE LEARN TO LEARN FROM HISTORY WE ARE DOOMED TO REPEAT IT!
His best customers are the shareholders
He might chosen, oh my gosh 😮
What a unique man!
Bezos is okay but I am LOVING this interviewer!
David Rubenstein, billionaire and such a recognized figure in private equity field(high finance)
David Rubenstein, is the co-founder of Carlyle Group, which is one of the top private equity firms in the world!
@@yunzou716 I thought he worked for "Swank!" magazine...
I was born in 97’ 😭
He has a similar nose ...mark Zuckerberg .
6 number 6 and you kept saying. is 6 the numbers?
❤❤❤❤😊😊😊🎉🎉🎉รัชณา อสุรินทร์ เลดี้ ปลื้มเจฟฟ์ เบโซส์❤❤
People who complaining about how he threads his employees in
3...2...1
Philipp w as far as I’m concerned, if you can’t take the heat stay out the kitchen. If they can’t handle Amazon’s high standards they can go work at Popeye’s.
CMG it's a waste of time
They sell everything from everywhere....
Obsessive compulsive focus on the customer: min 10:34 - 11:52
