So what should you know about Amazon's new CEO, Andy Jassy? Part of Jeff Bezos' elite "S-team," Jassy grew up and went to high school in Scarsdale, N.Y. (the same school writer Aaron Sorkin also attended). According to LinkedIn, he attended Harvard University, also receiving his M.B.A there, and has worked for Amazon since 1997, his only ever job. According to the San Francisco Chronicle, when in charge of Amazon Web Services (their data storage and tech division), Amazon has come to "dominate the cloud computing infrastructure industry, cornering 45% of the total market in 2019." Andy Jassy was named Financial Times' person of the year in 2016, and for years — if not decades — served as a "shadow" to Jeff Bezos, per the outlet. Now, it's his time in the spotlight.
Andy Jassy married fashion designer Elana Rochelle Caplan in 1997, per The New York Times, and they share two children. His Twitter bio notes that he is an "experienced buffalo wings eater." One place he could certainly be enjoying those wings is his $6.7 million Santa Monica, Calif. home, which, according to Variety, he purchased in 2020. Andy Jassy also owns a "10,000-square-foot historic" home in Seattle, Wash., his longtime residence, with "Corinthian columns" and "clapboard windows," per Variety. He picked up that gorgeous home in 2009 for $3.1 million.
As for Jassy's net worth? As of this writing, he's reportedly worth a cool $400 million, according to Celebrity Net Worth. We have a feeling that figure is soon to increase now that he's a household name!
