    AbeBooks: Amazon acquired AbeBooks, founded in 1996, in 2008

    Wait, what?

    In 1998, Bezos was an angel investor in Google. His $250,000 investment’s value has ballooned to roughly $3 billion. This and his 2011 investment in then-startup Airbnb are some of his most prominent.

    Double whaaaa?

    Seriously, I had no idea that he’s got his claws in everything. I guess I should have, he’s a billionaire and all.

    • Nextdoor: Nextdoor was founded in 2008 with the goal of creating a way to interact virtually with neighbors. Bezos Expeditions was among the app’s investors in 2011, altogether amounting to $40.2 million in funding circa its 2012 evolution.

    • Business Insider: Jeff Bezos is an investor in business-and-general-news site Business Insider, founded in 2007. The 2014 investment round added $12 million in funds.
