You may know that Jeff Bezos is currently one of the richest people in the entire world because he founded the online retailer Amazon. Amazon has grown so much over the years and is now a household name. Did you know that there is a home that is named the birthplace of Amazon?

Jeff Bezos quit his cushy New York hedge fund career in 1994 and moved to the Seattle suburbs. He rented a house and started building Amazon in the garage. How crazy is that? Now, the home where Amazon was born is up for sale. It is on sale for $1.488 million. At this time of publishing, the home has a pending offer.
