Public profile unearthed by Inc. magazine reveals six years of five-star reviews by Jeff Bezos. He praised books, a movie, binoculars, and milk.
Most people know Jeff Bezos as the richest person in the world — but he also happens to be Amazon’s 78,951,609th-ranked reviewer.
Thanks to an investigation by Inc. contributing editor Billy Murphy Jr, Bezos’ old review profile has been unearthed.
It contains six reviews from between 2000 and 2006 and offers an entertaining insight into the mind and buying habits of Amazon’s founder and outgoing CEO from before he was a multi-billionaire.
An Amazon spokesperson confirmed that it was Bezos’s own profile and the reviews are his.
All six of the reviews are generously ranked with five stars — the highest score possible. Over a period of six years, Bezos offered his thoughts on non-fiction books, a science fiction novel, an award-winning movie, binoculars, and milk.
Below are all of the reviews in chronological order of publishing.
