Wait, what?
Seriously, I had no idea that he’s got his claws in everything. I guess I should have, he’s a billionaire and all.
Diversity is the key to a profitable portfolio. But remember these lists are cherry picking successfully investments and purchases.
Acquired, acquired, acquired, acquired.
Good for him. If I had money I would also probably invest.
This can be confusing. Should I stop reading the WaPo? Well, I already don’t subscribe, jump the paywall, and block ads. Me using the site hurts him more than if i didn’t. Same thing with the Smart Speakers. Amazon has lost (IIRC) like 12B on that venture, and so long as you don’t use it to order stuff, it’s costs Bozo for a person to use it.

Most of the good people have left though, yeah?
Why should I know this? Will this help me with fixing my floorboard? Or help me at work? Missing the helpfulness of the sub in this post.

Some of these are incorrect. Amazon didn’t acquire iRobot, and the planned acquisition was terminated in January 2024.
