[FRIAM] What is Wealth for?

[Frank Wimberly]

In contrast:


A video of an interview that CBS’s Bob Simon did of Bezos in 1999 for “60
Minutes,” recently resurfaced. In the video, Bezos could be seen sporting
khakis, a button-down and driving the Accord.




“What’s with the Honda?” Simon asks Bezos during the interview.

After a laugh, Bezos, responds, “This is a perfectly good car.”
