JEFFREY BEZOS - PERSON OF THE YEAR |
Person of the Year:
Jeffrey P. Bezos
Welcome, Jeff Bezos, to TIME's Person of the Year club. As befits a new-era entrepreneur, at 35 you are the fourth youngest individual ever, preceded by 25-year-old Charles Lindbergh in 1927; Queen Elizabeth II, who made the list in 1952 at age 26; and Martin Luther King Jr., who was 34 when he was selected in 1963. A pioneer, royalty and a revolutionary--noble company for the man who is, unquestionably, king of cybercommerce.
