Bezos and his wife at the time, MacKenzie Scott, were renting that one-story, three-bedroom house near Seattle in the mid-1990s, when they started selling books online from their garage.
According to the company’s history, there was only a computer, basic office supplies and a desk in the garage.
At first, only books were distributed. Amazon says the first was “Fluid Concepts and Creative Analogies: Computer Models Of The Fundamental Mechanisms Of Thought.”
But in a few years, Amazon became the default option for online shoppers around the world, which has caused its current market capitalization to rise to a colossal figure of 1.6 trillion dollars.
The 1,500-square-foot home, which has a listing value of just under $2.3 million, was “meticulously rebuilt” in 2001, according to the real estate agent’s listing, so not much remains from the Bezos era. . But, according to the photos, the garage has a recreation of the original “amazon.com” banner that Bezos had back in the day.
