      GLO:inc/01mar21:38n1.jpg PHOTO (BLACK & WHITE): EMPEROR OF E-TAIL Jeff Bezos When he told his (then) wife, MacKenzie, that he wanted to ditch his Wall Street job to move to Seattle and start a business on the internet, she asked the same question he got from anyone he told about his plan: "What's the internet?" In a letter announcing he was stepping down as Amazon's CEO, Bezos remarked, "Blessedly, I haven't had to explain that in a long while." gl GIVEN WHAT WE KNOW NOW, the trajectory of Jeff Bezos seems almost inevitable. Bezos leaves his CEO role as one of the most important business leaders of his generation, having taken his company from zero to nearly $1.7 trillion, the market value of Amazon today.
