    I believe he borrowed money from his parents to buy DOS, for a lot less than it was worth.

    Bezos also borrowed money from his step-dad to start Amazon. hmm seems to be a theme with all these "self-made" billionaires

      Business freaks will repeat the axiom "you gotta spend money to make money!" and expect us not to find out about the loan from daddy that undergirds every "rags to riches" story of modern elites.
