Jeff Bezos announced he was moving from Seattle, where he started Amazon, to Miami, to be near his parents and where his space exploration company Blue Origin’s operations are shifting.
It’s prime time for a move.
Amazon founder Jeff Bezos announced Thursday that he is ditching the birthplace of his trillion-dollar company for the warmth of Florida — where he recently snatched up multiple mega-mansions.
Bezos, 59, revealed he was leaving his longtime home of Seattle in a nostalgic Instagram post, paired with a throwback video of his much-younger self showing off the original Amazon headquarters that he ran out of his garage.
“It doesn’t take long to tour the offices of Amazon.com, Inc,” the then-30-year-old CEO says of the one-room office.
His father, from behind the camera, cheered on his future billionaire son: “We are in the nerve center!”
Bezos said he would be leaving the notoriously dreary northwestern city behind to follow his parents, who also recently made the move to Miami, where the family lived during Bezos’ high school years.
