> In hindsight, I'm not certain if Jeff Bezos 'left well'. Since Bezos is "the richest person in the world" and the founder of Amazon, tough for me to believe he was pushed out; being so rich, he has to have a lot of stock, enough that the BoD wouldn't or couldn't push him out. The story was that he wanted to do something else: I can believe that. And I believe that he gets to select the next CEO, will continue watching Amazon, and will take full operational control if he sees a need. So, does anyone know (1) what the Amazon capitalization table looks like, (2) what stock categories there are, (3) who the major stockholders are, and (4) the amounts of stock they own? In the sense of AVC's post, I don't believe that Bezos actually "left", "well" or otherwise. Uh, I grew up in Memphis and, thus, happen to know something about the founders of both Holiday Inns and FedEx -- in the sense of AVC, they never "left". [Uh, for some supporting details, I worked at FedEx, and my office was next to the founder's. The founder of Holiday Inn lived on the south side of Galloway golf course; I grew up in a house on the north side of that golf course. Etc.]
