Jeff Bezos' Grandfather was President of Monsanto, and also Director or ARPA/DARPA
From The Millenium Report :
But I AM saying that grandfather LP Gise was a director at the AEC (Atomic Energy Commission) and key person to approve and fund ARPA , from which ARPAnet evolved , and now Amazon is the largest cloud provider on Earth.

*Years ago when I still had a TV, I saw Jeff Bezos on an interview. He said that he "started Amazon in his garage".
Bezos also stated that he had no furniture when he started ordering boxes of books, so he would "pick up wood doors that people threw out on the street" and he would use them as tables in his fledgling garage Amazon business.
Same "Humble Beginnings" story as a few other World's Richest Men
*Bill Gates: started Microsoft as a college student in his garage.
*Mark Zuckerberg: started Facebook as a college student in his dorm room.
