The couple later moved out to Seattle, Washington, in 1994 and Jeff Bezos founded Amazon that same year. Scott supported him from the get-go and they were happy as the company grew more successful.

The couple got even more overjoyed as they welcomed their first child, Preston, in 2001. Two other sons also followed and they later adopted a daughter from China, making it a total of four children. Amazon would grow to become one of the most valuable companies in the world and with this, the Bezoses grew even richer.

They provided a luxurious life for Preston and his siblings. They however kept things as normal as possible. They used a regular Honda car and Scott often dropped off the kids at school before taking her husband to work. It was a wonderful dynamic that lasted for several years. Sadly, the couple filed for divorce in 2019 and it was finalized that same year.

This is due to a series of text messages which was leaked after his father’s iPhone was hacked in 2019. One of the text messages showed that Jeff Bezos was attending a parent’s day weekend event at MIT which supports the belief that Preston Bezos is a student of MIT.

Preston Bezos Enjoys Living Out of the Spotlight

Despite being the son of one of the richest and most well-known men in the world, Preston Bezos pretty much remains an enigma. He has no social media accounts under his known name. His media appearances are also few and far limited. The only pictures of him publicly available come from random outings with his parents.

He and his siblings once joined their parents on the red carpet for the premiere of the 2016 film, Star Trek Beyond. He also accompanied his father to the National Portrait Gallery in 2019 when he was honored with a portrait of a national prize. Asides from these random outings, Preston remains a mystery. This makes it difficult to know exact details about him such as his love life and the identity of his girlfriend. It also makes it difficult to know what career path he wants to take.

One thing that is however certain is that his career choices will be influenced by his passion. His father has previously revealed that he advises his children to make a career out of their passion as this would motivate them to put in the hard work required to make a success out of that career path.
