Jeff Bezos wasn't a garage startup genius who built Amazon from nothing. Stepfather Miguel Bezos was Exxon executive earning substantial money. Grandfather owned a 25000 acre ranch in Texas. "Garage startup" sounds inspiring. Reality? Family invested $300,000 in early Amazon equivalent to around $1M oday. Most entrepreneurs can't access six-figure family investments. Princeton University graduate with electrical engineering degree. Elite education opened doors to Wall Street career at hedge fund D.E. Shaw. Left secure $1 million+ Wall Street salary to start Amazon. Real entrepreneurs risk homelessness Jeff risked returning to inherited comfort. Miguel's Exxon networks provided business connections and corporate strategy insights. Not random online bookstore - systematic business planning with industry expertise. His vision was real - but his platform was inherited wealth. Self-made billionaires don't start with $300,000 family investments and Exxon executive guidance.
