Amazon founder and former CEO Jeff Bezos is showing his softer side following the death of his beloved mother, Jackie Bezos, who passed away this week at the age of 78. While the famed tech visionary did not share her exact cause of death, he revealed in a heartfelt post that she had endured “a long fight with Lewy Body Dementia.”

Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez ‘s newlywed bliss has come to a tragic end. The Amazon founder, 61, married his partner of six years in a luxury Italian wedding ceremony in late July, but despite a lavish European honeymoon, the time basking in their marital bliss has come to a screeching halt for personal reasons.

How much could Bezos actually spend today if he decided to make a mega-purchase that required him to leverage as much of his spendable assets as possible?

And it was for the founder of Amazon, Jeff Bezos, who owns a rocket company of his own in Blue Origin. So how did it come to this—Bezos and Elon Musk, competitors in so many ways, working together in space?

War Of The Worlds, the straight-to-streaming screenlife trashterpiece, somehow fits snugly into the Amazon CEO's formula for fiction.
