# Talk:Jeff Bezos

Why is there no mention of Jeff's affair with Lauren Sanchez? It received wide publicity and news coverage, and their relationship continues to receive coverage. I understand there's likely an Amazon-led PR effort to sanitize any mention of his infidelity, but it's notable and news-worthy.
This needs non biased factual references.

I brought this up in an earlier post, so here it is again, with reputable, non-biased sources:

I'd be happy to provide some text if someone is willing to make the edit and brave the wrath of Amazon's sycophant PR team.

If you listen to the story, Yasantha did not "defeat" him in a physics problem.  He and another student went to Yasantha for help on a physics problem and when he realized that Yasantha recognized the answer and he didn't, he decided to not pursue theoretical physics.

or at least so it says in his article despite it being protected to prevent vandalism. I don’t see the rationale behind titling him as such, and would like clarification on the reasoning behind this being an approved change; I for one don’t deem it to be a fair characterization, and don’t think it belongs in the article.

It appears to have been added in this edit by @Firecat93. It fairly transparently violates WP:V and WP:BLP, so I have removed it for now. AntiDionysius (talk) 22:29, 14 November 2024 (UTC)
Or actually @Schazjmd removed it, because edit conflict. Either way. AntiDionysius (talk) 22:32, 14 November 2024 (UTC)
I found a few pieces (The Atlantic, Mother Jones, and Politico) that explore the U.S. as an oligarchy, all mentioning Bezos among other billionaires. That possibly might be worth summarizing in the body, but not sufficient to justify stating it as a fact in the lead sentence in wikivoice. Schazjmd (talk) 22:43, 14 November 2024 (UTC)
Thank you, I have made this addition. Firecat93 (talk) 23:49, 14 November 2024 (UTC)
And I have moved it out of the lead. AntiDionysius (talk) 23:52, 14 November 2024 (UTC)
OK. Can you make a similar edition to Elon Musk's page, please? I am not an extended confirmed user, unfortunately. Firecat93 (talk) 00:26, 15 November 2024 (UTC)
..it’s unfortunate that you don’t have the freedom to label billionaires as oligarchs? Wikipedia should prioritize neutrality and verifiable facts over terms that carry political or subjective connotations. Labeling someone as oligarch can be seen as a value judgement rather than fact, especially in the context of US politics, in which the claim of the existence of an oligarchic system is highly contentious; I believe it’s crucial that we maintain objectivity, especially when discussing public figures.

It was added without a source so I've removed it for now. Labels in the lead should be those commonly applied by reliable sources. Schazjmd (talk) 22:29, 14 November 2024 (UTC)
Seems much more a matter of opinion than something we should be saying in wikivoice. Horse Eye's Back (talk) 23:58, 14 November 2024 (UTC)
seems to have been added back again in this series of edits by user:Firecat93. I'll remove from the lead (but leave in the body) as that appears to be the consensus above. Caleb Stanford (talk) 00:09, 14 January 2025 (UTC)

Can anyone change current one by replacing any of these 2 ones, because current one either don't show even his face clear steadily. Remember, Musk's article's infobox photo also got changed recently for same these one of factors. 202.59.12.227 (talk) 07:19, 2 January 2025 (UTC)

I was thinking this too. The previous image looked much more professional. Inpops (talk) 17:54, 3 January 2025 (UTC)

Section on Amazon business career Jeff Bezos#Amazon doesn't mention the dot-com bubble, instead simply stating
> In 1998, Bezos diversified into the online sale of music and video, and by the end of the year he had expanded the company's products to include a variety of other consumer goods. Bezos used the $54 million raised during the company's 1997 equity offering to finance the aggressive acquisition of smaller competitors. In 2000, Bezos borrowed $2 billion from banks, as its cash balances dipped to only $350 million.
I'm not an expert on the subject matter but it seems like it would be more informative to put that in its historical context? Caleb Stanford (talk) 00:13, 14 January 2025 (UTC)

went forward with an initial light edit per WP:BOLD, comments welcome. Caleb Stanford (talk) 20:09, 14 January 2025 (UTC)

Elementary schools in the US end at 5th grade. River Oaks Elementary ends at 5th grade. He didn’t go until 6th grade. Wikipedia won’t allow editing on this article so I am putting it here Carolyns220 (talk) 15:06, 18 July 2025 (UTC)

In the '60s and '70s, elementary schools went through 6th grade. Schazjmd (talk) 15:34, 18 July 2025 (UTC)
Really? Wow I didn’t know that, thanks. Maybe I should delete this now Carolyns220 (talk) 16:16, 18 July 2025 (UTC)
We can leave the conversation to be archived. Who knows, another person might have a similar question someday! Schazjmd (talk) 16:18, 18 July 2025 (UTC)

Jeff Bezos was made a Chevaler of the French Légion d’honneur in February 2023.

The Légion d’honneur is not France’s highest national order of merit, Chevalier is its entry-level grade. (1/5) 185.19.225.219 (talk) 13:28, 29 July 2025 (UTC)
