  Google the term "activist investor". A Carl Icahn type (or more likely Carl Icahn himself) could potentially force Jeff to reconsider the detached attitude.

      Insiders own 18% of the stock[1], with Bezos being the largest; "retain control easily" becomes relative depending on how active the institutional investors get. [1] http://finance.yahoo.com/q/mh?s=amzn+Major+Holders http://finance.yahoo.com/q/mh?s=amzn+Major+Holders
