Jeff Bezos is considering the possibility of buying the New York Jets: a review of his assets and investments

Jeff Bezos, according to reports, is considering the possibility of acquiring the New York Jets after failing to buy the Washington Commanders in 2023, when he was outbid by Josh Harris in a $ 6 billion deal. The Jets have been owned by Woody Johnson since 2000, who bought the team for $ 635 million and is now valued at $ 6.9 billion according to Forbes magazine. This huge price tag is well within Bezos' reach, who has shifted his focus to various ventures after stepping down as CEO of Amazon in 2021.

Here is a closer look at Bezos' net worth and his growing investment portfolio.

As of November 29, Bezos' net worth is estimated at $ 221.4 billion, making him the third richest person in the world according to Forbes.

Bezos earned his fortune as the founder and former CEO of Amazon, the world’s largest online retailer. He launched the company in 1994 as an online bookstore and quickly expanded its range of products, including everything from electronics to home goods. Amazon’s transformation into a global e-commerce giant, as well as its ventures in cloud computing through Amazon Web Services (AWS), significantly increased Bezos' wealth.

After stepping down as CEO in 2021, Bezos continues to profit from his 10.8% stake in Amazon, as well as his investments in other companies. In addition to Amazon, he has made profitable investments in companies such as Blue Origin, a private aerospace manufacturer, and also owns The Washington Post.
