It is satisfying to know that the now billionaire Jeff Bezos – Founder & CEO of Amazon – was once a reviewer on the platform himself! He used to only review products that he personally liked and used, and rated them no less than 5 stars with good feedback. Apart from being a self-made billionaire, this reviewing hobby seems to have been a side-hustle for him, back in the day.
As per the Amazon platform, he is the 78,951,609th-ranked reviewer. It was Inc Magazine that dug deeper to reveal that Bezos reviewed products between 2000 and 2006. This was an old profile that the CEO was using and it was definitely authentic, as confirmed by an Amazon spokesperson.
Which Products did Jeff Bezos personally Review?
Out of so many products on the platform, he has given reviews on only 6 of them with positive feedback. All these reviews have quite a lot of votes. In addition to this, one of his oldest reviews dates back to a classic movie, Life is Beautiful. This is what he wrote praising the film.
The Canon All-Weathers Binoculars Review
Similarly, he also reviewed the Canon All-Weathers Binoculars and seems to have spoken from personal experience, rating the product a good 5 stars. 139 people found his review helpful.
The full review also entails his suggestion wherein he mentions how it would be nicer if the binoculars came with a strap for ease of convenience. He also adds how the lens cap could’ve been of a better quality as the current one could break in no time and did not offer much protection to the gadget.
Down and Out in the Magic Kingdom Review
Bezos is certainly a bibliophile having put reviews for 2 books including ‘Down and Out in the Magic Kingdom’. The theme follows a 22nd century Walt Disney World which Bezos believed was definitely way ahead of its times.
In his review, he mentioned how the Star Trek world left a few things blank with their allocations unknown to the viewers. This book surely fills in the gap with its fictional theme.
From books to movies and even milk, Bezos has done it all in his career so far. Do you feel closer to him knowing more about his past endeavors?
