MacKenzie Bezos played a big role in the founding of Amazon and drove across the country with Jeff to start it

when they were both employees at the New York City hedge fund D.E. Shaw. Jeff Bezos worked his way up to senior vice president at the firm, while MacKenzie Bezos, then MacKenzie Tuttle, worked there as a research associate.

The two married in 1993, and a year later, Jeff Bezos told his wife about his revolutionary plan for an online bookstore that he would later name Amazon. "I'm not a businessperson. So to me, what I'm hearing when he tells me that idea is the passion and the excitement," MacKenzie Bezos."And to me, you know, watching your spouse, somebody that you love, have an adventure — what is better than that, and being part of that?

In 1994, the couple drove from New York City to Seattle, the eventual Amazon headquarters, with MacKenzie Bezos driving and Jeff Bezos"tapping out a business plan on his computer along the way,"

She came for a drive? What else? Sure she did 🙄

Nobody really stays friends especially when one has been betrayed
