So. Where do I get a job like Jeff Bezos has again?
Make these jobs pay enough to live with dignity and people will work them.
Get a job that will require government assistance to live if you wanna be a trillionaire, ya idiots!
Then all you do is get a 6+ figure loan from your dad, ya moron!
This guy became a billionaire during the dot com bubble by tricking Yahoo into buying his fake website. I’m not aware if he’s ever actually had a job.
Seems like he was a bartender before working as a software salesman, then founding a competing software sales company which he sold.
Broadcast.com was definitely a bad buy for Yahoo, so he lucked into becoming a billionaire off of that, but calling it a fake website might be overstating it - there seems to have been some actual real-time media technology innovation going on there.
It was a comically malfunctional unmonetized “college basketball radio” website (as far as I remember). No way it is was worth jack shit, let alone the hundreds of millions that Yahoo got swindled into paying.
It was absolutely not worth the money that Yahoo paid, no.
“ROI”
“Return on Investment?”
“Radio on Internet!”
