There is a certain mythology that surrounds Amazon.com's founder, Jeff
Bezos -- mostly relating to how he and his wife left New York and lit
out for Seattle to start the world's pathbreaking e-commerce company.
She drove; he typed the business plan on a laptop. It all sounds so
rustic, so wide-eyed, as if the Bezoses were pioneers who crossed the
Rockies in a Conestoga and founded Amazon to avoid starvation.
(Actually, they flew to Dallas and then drove the rest of the way.) What
is often overlooked is that before Bezos headed west, he reportedly
earned over $1 million a year as a young star at a hedge fund and that
he graduated summa cum laude in computer science and electrical
engineering from Princeton.
