El nerd que no pudo comprar ser cool

Our friends at the podcast: Didi Premier Jeff Bezos is worth over $260 billion. He can buy yachts, newspapers, mansions... but there was one thing money couldn't buy for years. Coolness. For more than a decade, the fashion industry slammed the door in his face. Luxury brands didn't want to sell on Amazon. Designers rejected him. And while he dominated global commerce, he remained an outsider in the most exclusive club on the planet. Then everything changed. In this episode, we tell the story of how Bezos went from not knowing what brand of shirt he was wearing to hosting the Met Gala. A story featuring Anna Wintour, Lauren Sánchez, Vogue, Amazon, luxury, politics, protests, and a much bigger question: What do the world's richest men do when money isn't enough? We also discussed why Mark Zuckerberg, Jack Dorsey, and other tech billionaires are entering the fashion world, what "cool factor" really means, and why there are some things that even billions of dollars can't buy.
