Jeffrey Bezos Invests In Business Insider

Although he is not investing in Business Insider on his own, there is no doubt that Jeffrey Bezos is the driving force behind the new group that is funding the business blog. According to the site, Bezos - who built the Amazon.com empire - has been thinking about investing in the company for roughly a year. In fact, he met with executives from Business Insider at that time and expressed interest, though he did not actually make his contribution until a few days ago. When he did, though, it was a significant amount of money. All told, the investment from the group should be right around the five million dollar mark.
