The Bezos Family owned a lumbermill in pre-communist Cuba. Miguel Bezos (Jeff Bezo step-father) fled Cuba during the communist revolution with possible CIA-involvement, Operation ‘Pedro Pan’. Miguel Bezos married Jackie in 1968 and adopted Jeff (her son). Miguel Bezos worked managerial positions at ExxonMobil for 32 years. In 1995, Jackie and Miguel Bezos gave Jeff Bezos $250k investment to found amazon.com.
Such a coincidence that a bourgie family from pre-Communist Cuba became a bourgie family in the US.
from pre-Communist Cuba
Yeah, that tracks
What, your parents didn’t give you 250k when you turned 30?
I wonder what’s in that location in Santiago de Cuba. If the lumber mill is still a lumber mill.
It’s hard to tell but it doesn’t seem like he necessarily had any money when he went to the US. Miguel Bezos’ parents according to that video didn’t even come to the US??? Just an interesting thing either way. Jeff Bezos’ mom doesn’t seem like she was rich either. Seems like they just had good paying jobs.
What is weird is its hard to find anything immediately on Google about Miguel Bezos’ parents. I guess he never said publicly whether they moved to the US? According to a marriage certificate on this random family search website, his dad moved to Arlington, VA??? https://ancestors.familysearch.org/es/LBWL-2WC/salvador-bezos-ares-1906-1998
Miguel doesn’t say if he ever reunited with his parents or not.
Jeff also talked about a ranch his maternal grandparents had. His mom’s side of the family had money.
It is confirmed that they owned the lumbermill in Cuba, the video is on an official Amazon-owned youtube channel. It is also confirmed that Miguel Bezos was a child participant in Operation Pedro Pan. It says that the Pedro Pan children came to the US without their parents, “exodus of over 14,000 unaccompanied Cuban minors ages 6 to 18 to the United States”. The involvement of the CIA in Pedro is debated apparently. Wikipedia says that the CIA may have distributed fake news in Cuba to cause a panic which lead to the exodus.

I can’t say for sure that Miguel Bezos has ties to the CIA, but it is speculated that Pedro Pan had CIA involvement. Miguel Bezos entered the US alone at age 16 in 1962. At age 17, Miguel received a full scholarship to the University of Albuquerque (a catholic school which shut down in 1986). Then in 1968, Miguel was hired to work at Exxon.
The maternal grandfather you mentioned is named Lawrence Preston Gise.
I found a YouTube link in your comment. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:
I hope they can be reunited soon
NOT FUCKING SOON ENOUGH
Wow. I didn’t know that. You’re telling me now for the first time. 🖐🏻😑🤚🏻 She led an amazing life. What else can you say? She was an amazing woman. Whether you agree or not, she was an amazing woman who led an amazing life. I’m actually sad to hear that. I’m sad to hear that.
RIP Bezo. 61 years too late.
is that why my closet is starting to smell really bad?
