Jeff Bezos Amazon stock blue origin – CWEB.com
Yesterday Amazon.com founder Jeff Bezos said on Wednesday he is selling about $1 billion worth of the internet retailer’s stock every year to fund his Blue Origin rocket company, which aims to launch paying passengers on 11-minute space rides starting next year. His goal is to lower the 100 million dollar price tag down to a more reasonable and paltry price tag of a mere million dollars per trip!
As passengers will be asked to hand over as much as $300,000 for a ticket to space, Bezos and co. believe comfortable recliners — at least in comparison to SpaceX’s Crew Dragon capsule — and expansive views will make the cost worthwhile.
