The multimillionaire Jeff Bezos paid a touching tribute to his mother who died on Thursday “after a long fight” against a progressive neurological disease, in a publication offering a window on the childhood of the businessman.
“Her adult life started a little early when she became my mother, at the tender age of 17. It shouldn’t have been easy, but it did everything to make everything work. […] She always gave much more than she asked, testified the founder of Amazon on Instagram on Thursday. I love you, mom. “
The same day, Jacklyn Gise Bezos gave his last breath at the age of 78, after a five -year fight against Lewy’s body disease, a progressive neurological disease that causes a significant cognitive decline, which she had been diagnosed in 2020, said her son.
During her peaceful death, in her house in Miami, she was surrounded by her loved ones, including her children, her grandchildren and her husband, Miguel “Mike” Bezos, the adoptive father of Jeff Bezos.
“Jackie was a dedicated mother, always granting her children the priority. She was constantly going to Radio Shack for Jeff, spent many hours supervising the pom-plan girls training for Christina and transported the battery to the back of truck family for Mark. She devoted her life to her family, “he continued in writing.
By the way, the multimillionaire underlined his dedicated work towards education, which led him to set up the Bezos family foundation in 2000, as well as various programs to support young people.
“Together, we can change the trajectory of an entire generation,” she said. We do not just train brains, we build the future. Each of us has a role to play, and we will really need everything to make the difference. ”

The death only occurred a few months after the multimillionaire marriage in Venice in Italy, which had caused a lot of ink and whose cost was estimated between $ 47 and $ 56 million. The ceremony, however intimate, was held in front of only 200 guests.
Her new wife, Lauren Sanchez Bezos, has also commented under the publication that we will miss terribly. I love you, ”you can read.
