How did Amazon
started?
Launched Amazon to sell books!
Bezos opened Amazon.com, named
after the meandering South
American river, on July 16,
1995, after asking 300 friends to
beta test his site. In the months
leading up to launch, a few
employees began developing
software with Bezos in his garage;
they eventually expanded
operations into a two-bedroom
house equipped with three Sun
Microstations.

“he stated that
the only way he can see
to use his wealth is to
spend it on his space
company, Blue Origin”
According to Fortune, Bezos famously decided to
found Amazon in Washington state instead of the
hot tech hubs of California and was perfectly
happy to admit that he did it to dodge
California's sales taxes. At one point, Bezos
even considered planting Amazon on a
Native American reservation in California, where
it would have been exempt from state sales tax.
This was just the beginning of Amazon's natural
aversion to tax-paying. For the next 20 years,
the company carefully avoided sales taxes in the
majority of other states, too. This gave it a
price advantage over traditional book retailers
and helped it to establish a strong foothold in
e-commerce.
