How Bike Shop Owner Discovered He Was Jeff Bezos’ Dad

- Jeff Bezos changed the way we shop forever when he founded Amazon in 1994. He later became the world’s richest man. In 2014, Inside Edition met his biological father, Ted Jorgensen, a bicycle repairman in Phoenix. He was a teenage circus performer when he married Bezos’ mom and after their marriage broke up, Jorgensen gave up custody of his son. “Big mistake,” he told Inside Edition. He only realized who his son was when a biographer contacted him. Jorgensen passed away in 2015. #InsideEdition
Imagine being bald when your dad has hair
Hahahhaaha !!! Nice observation
lmaoo dude
😭😭😂😂 chill my dad got hair I dont
Diego Echeverria rip 😂
Hayes I was the 200th like.
The poor man. His whole life insulted by a disrespectful bad reporter. Making him and his achievements look small.
Well tbh compared to Jeff it really is
well that's depressing
@@bleachprovider6001 barely anyone is like Jeff bezos, of course anyone compared to Jeff doesn’t seem like much but when u look into people deeper, u can see how well of a life they lived, so it was really disrespectful of the reporter to say this about him.
He was a deadbeat
They're right tho
"Toiled away in obscurity." Thats like 99% of us, and they make it sound terrible and shameful.
100 percent of us will be lost in obscurity.
How did they make it sound disrespectful? Toiling away just means to work hard at something for a prolonged period of time
@@winnerwinnerporkbellydinner toiled away in *OBSCURITY*
definition of obscurity:
the state of being unknown, inconspicuous, or unimportant.
@@notlucas6859 that’s basically all of us isn’t it?
Yup. What an insult.
"In the bike shop, where he toiled away in obscurity for the next 40 years." Jesus, give the man some credit for living his life the way he wanted.
At least he’s a business owner, im still doing 9 to 5 let me know since when being a business owner is a bad thing lol.
@@TrapKingz. ong lmao
yeah most of people has some small business or nothing even.
It’s disrespectful to say he wasted his life fixing bikes
I'm sure he was the kind of man that even fixed a few for free, or at a discount!
Exactly. There's all kinds of professionals and they're all perfectly valid
Same, they acting like fixing bikes is homeless status😭
@يا سين the reporter said “he toiled away in obscurity for years”
Yeah seems like peaceful life, not everyone needs money
Damn, they act like He’s living in a dumpster. Chill out.
At least he is not the dad who went to buy milk and returned after 15 years.
Compared to what Jeff Bezos have that pretty much is a dumpster lol
@@melou4602 beautifully said
Poverty is relative
Man if I inherited a house like Jeff's I'd sell it instantly. No one needs a house they can get lost in.
“Toiled away in obscurity”. This report is blatantly condescending and disrespectful. So if you’re not a billionaire and just have a reasonably modest job, you’ve wasted your life? That’s ridiculous.
Dude ur not wrong that's so true just insulted him for no reason
Exactly. The dude has lived a hard working, honorable life.
He is probably jealous because being a news reporter is stressful. Fixing bike for money is an awesome life
Everyone wants their son to do a lot better than them, not the other way around. Imagine how Bezos', Musk's, Michael Jordan's etc. children feel, they'll never live up to those expectations.
This dad is a loser
Man, a lot of people can't even afford to live in the house his father is living in. Don't downplay his life accomplishments.
Ted passed in 2015 and this is likey the most detailed video the world has of him. Inside Edition basically tried to make it seem like he should regret his entire life. "here's this dying old man that walked out of his billionaire son's life look how poor he is because of this"
Everyone wants their son to do a lot better than them, not the other way around. Imagine how Bezos', Musk's, Michael Jordan's etc. children feel, they'll never live up to those expectations. On the other hand, this man created the world's richest man lol, so that within itself is an amazing achievement. Imagine being the father of someone who's so accomplished. Where do I sign?
I dislike how they downplayed his achievements.
“He lives in this modest house….BUT ITS NOTHING COMPARED TO BEZOS’ $2,000,000 mansion!”
Hes still lived a better life than the average person. And the average 1950 and before American
ikr owning a succesful bike shop for decades is not easy. Thr bike shop i got my first BMX from went into bankrupcy years ago. And they had everything needed for a bike.
@@svampen7782 it's part due to big box stores and disposable bikes at super cheap prices
@@yayger825 indeed. This man did succed where so many failed. Rip to him.
What a disrespectful report, so if you're not a billionaire your life is a waste? That says a lot about the producers
It's technically what the man personally thought of him. He most likely suffered from Imposter's Syndrome.
@@billcipherproductions1789 agreed.
Imagine taking time out of your day to tell someone that their life is waist. Get a life
ok and? what you gonna do about ut
@@iJuce 😆 take it easy keyboard warrior
I'm just happy the man got to know what became of his son before he passed away, regardless of if he saw him again or not. That in itself probably made him proud and gave some clarity to something he'd probably been wondering for much of his life
Yes we'll said. Although I hope this video finds it's way to jeff
@@davidheath3196 same here buddy. Also, I like your pic of Sev from Republic Commando
Thanks it's not mine I don't own the rights to it but I am a artist so that counts for something
By the way big fan of your movies
He could have found out sooner, he just didn't care.
mentalities like this reporter’s is what will lead to having a very depressing life. Valuing monetary success over almost everything.
"Toiled away in obscurity." What a rude way to describe his life.
*TRUTH HATER, ain't YOU???*
@@Justin666Martyr It is the truth but would you like to get called like that? If you lived a already fulfilling life.
@@Justin666Martyr when your pipes burst, bridges crumble, house has a gas leak, or your electricity goes out, don’t go calling those “obscure” people to help you out
Not to the people that loved him I’m sure, a stupid thing to say
@@Justin666Martyr ok, your house was built by people “toiling away in obscurity”, as you put it. Why don’t you try designing and building a fully functional house?
The man even passed away without seeing his son for the last time.
That pained me
Jeff made a comment, "he never knew him." so why would he meet him
@Charlie Brasso yeah but it’s still sad
@@CharlieBrasso gosh even though he never met him. He is still his own biological father. Just meet him for a bit is enough
Wait really
Its so depressing that He wasnt able to see his own son in his entire life.
He had his whole life to do so
@@oldschoolbussdrive he literally couldn’t 💀
1. He didn’t know where to find him
2. How easy do you think it is to get in contact with a BILLIONAIRE?
@@Boneappleteahee shouldn’t have abandoned his son if he wanted to see him as a grown man
@Goosa Poosa Court always gives visitation rights to father. The man waived it away because it would mean he would have to give money to raise the child
@@Boneappleteahee Do you think the ex-wife just picked him up and ran away with him in the middle of the night under secrecy? He had plenty of time to be in his life. Bezos wasn't a billionaire when he was a child.
"this news would change his life forever" dude died a year later
Lol
Technically still
To be honest, that guy probably lived a fulfilling life. Don’t make a successful guy seem like a loser because he isn’t the ceo of Amazon.
He's dead :(
Mark 8:36-38 King James Version (KJV)
36 For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul?
37 Or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?
38 Whosoever therefore shall be ashamed of me and of my words in this adulterous and sinful generation; of him also shall the Son of man be ashamed, when he cometh in the glory of his Father with the holy angels.
Dylan Murray for real, got his own business and a nice house that I’m sure is paid for. Without the headache of running Amazon.
Thank-you I agree. They used the terms "wasting away in obscurity" and "he lives in this modest house"---good grief----he's a respectable small business owner...that's a good life!!
Yeah bro
This is an absolutely disturbing interview making him out to see worthless because he wasn’t crazy successful. Looks like he lived a happy life to me.
Time lapse?
Crazy rich*
@@animkali5998 do you mean time stamp?
Oh, he was very successful!!! Wealthy does not equal success!
He’s probably happier than Jeff Bezos too!
“Jorgensen toiled away in obscurity for the next 40 years working in his bike shop”
What a disrespectful belittling statement to someones life.
He was definitely jealous of him, i understand
“And toiled away in obscurity for over 40 years.”
Toil? Really? I’m sure he has worked hard, but repairing and selling bicycles seems like a pretty cozy job to me.
and it's a lot less stressful than being a news reporter. He was definitely jealous of him
Just because this old man owns a bike shop, makes a decent living, has a wife and a nice house, and isn't the CEO of a successful online shopping service doesn't mean he's "living in obscurity"
honestly, he's living way better than a lot of people out there
Shuhrat Kessikbayev in comparison to his famous son, you could say he kept a very low profile.
@@Havanorange more or less lived a humble life
I think when they say “obscurity” they mean not in the public eye like Bezos is.
Compared to his son sort of
The way they talked about this old Guy’s life is just disrespectful
I agree, this dumb news report acts like if you aren’t a billionaire you aren’t successful in life.
I agree
@MR COLOSSUS Yeah but the news report doesnt have to treat this guy lower then Jeff Bezos especially since he's dead

@Katelynn Stewart A reporter is just doing its job it's the Producer.
I admire people who recognize their inability to care for their children and do the responsible thing by giving them up for adoption. It’s a difficult decision and no one should be shamed for that. God bless all adoptees and their parents

@@travisbickle4360 some people aren’t mentally or financially prepared to raise children. Please don’t be indifferent to other people’s struggles.
@@travisbickle4360 yea and the wife married a rich man to support her and the child. What a surprise, the old man just pretty much needed to be stable to have a family
Deadbeat dad
he didn't give his son up for adoption. He divorced Jeff's mom and disappeared. Slightly different situations.
If he didn't do that mistake, Jeff wouldn't be the entrepreneur he is today. Still would have done great with his life though.
He'd probably be the most successful bike manufacturer in the world like BSA
He doesnt even want his money just wants to see his son like any father would
Well, he is 45 years too late
A Wolf Named Volk stop spelling son wrong first of all, it’s spelled son. And secondly Jeff is hard to make contact with because he is the worlds richest man.
A Wolf Named Volk also for restraining orders you need to have valid reasons and involve both parties in it.
SuperIceCream - Pixel Worlds nope in the original comment he spelled it son, he edited it.
Sam Paltiel wow you’re dense
He did well himself as a businessman until this reporter decided to downplay his achievements just to highlight Jeff's net worth.
Dissing the man for no reason
Maybe getting rid of Jeff Bezos who was his biological son wasn't so smart
@@THEGRANDTOUR-kt3jh maybe it was. Jeff might not be the Jeff we know if he wasn’t raised the way he was.

He… was a deadbeat. Doesn’t exactly confer respect with many people
The absent father **
@@Trailerwalkernonetheless, biological. Bezos may not have seen him as a father for being absent in his life, but that was his father. it can also be argued that if it wasn’t for how things ended up he’d be in a different place today. circumstantially things went well for bezos so being upset at how things turned out would be contradicting to the success he reached
@@alexgonzalez5390 more like a sperm donor. He should’ve fought to be in his life and he wouldn’t have regretted it. It’s his own fault for being an absent father. Biologically or not he still gave up his flesh and blood so who cares

@@MM-we4no We know it's "obscurity". It's funny regardless. In fact, it's even more funny with the word "absurdity" in there, taking into consideration the context. It's hilarious 😂

Yeah of course and i am his dad
@@Michael-vq3cz of course and I’m your son

Wow, I thought I lived a decent life but after this interview I just toiled away in obscurity.
He seems like a nice guy just wanting to apologize for his actions and in no way wanted to live of his sons success

RIP Mr. Jorgensen
I knew Ted, it started for me back in 1981. A buddy of mine wanted to go bmx racing so went out to Peoria Dunes in Peoria, AZ one fall evening and signed up. I took a 1st place that night in the beginner class and I was on cloud 9 but that's where it started. Ted approached me and asked if I wanted to race for his team Roadrunner Bikes. I agreed and my grandfather and I went to his shop the following week to discuss more and pick up a jersey.
Ted and my parents, grandparents became good friends after that with poker parties they held, hanging out at the race track and eventually owning a race horse together. Ted spoke of his son back then but didn't know where he was. Ted had married another woman and she had 2 daughters, sadly the oldest one was struck by a bus at ASU and passed away. The younger one went with him one day to Turf Paradise (horse racing track in Phoenix) and disappeared with a man and never returned, she did call one Christmas a few years later and just said Merry Christmas. Ted was a very kind guy and to own a bicycle shop for over 35 years is a success in my eyes. I last spoke with him around 2011-12, I went into his shop looking for parts and we chatted for an hour or so about the old days and he was just as humble as he was back then.
Just think, without that random dude who owns a bike shop: we’d never have had amazon...
Orion 7857 Id be ok with that, we would still have eBay.
i only buy from ebay, i wonder what story the founder has to say about that
Come to think like how did someone become the richest man on something that was already invented. It’s kinda like when Tom got screwed when Facebook was invented but MySpace was clearly better but not as simple. Simple sells a lot more I guess.
*You can say that about millions of Bezos' ancestors had they done something differently. It's nothing special, especially when you realize the universe and human behavior is inherently deterministic.*
Phil The Logician
I love thinking about it. It’s very fascinating. EG if my grandfather hadn’t had a bike accident in 1966 he would never had met my grandmother. If my fathers father never died, my dad wouldn’t have migrated over from Malaysia & met my mother. Mind you, if he hadn’t had been friends with a certain individual at that time he’d never had met her wether my grandad died or not. & none of our comments on this random RUclips post I stumbled across would exist.
🤯
“27 billion...”
Ah, back when Jeff was poor.
LMAO
Lol
what a peasant
LMAO
Fax lol
When Jeff said "I only think of my father when I fill out forms" I felt like that was the ultimate way to disrespect your parent. But the reality is that his father totally abandoned him so he isn't to blame
Yup
Didn't Jeff's mom spark that by asking him to get out of their lives? He's not a deadbeat, he's a divorcee who agreed to give his ex spouse full custody
He didn't abandoned his son though. The mother took full custody then disappeared without telling him the fathers name
I feel for this man. I had a friend I grew up with and went to school with who became a professional golfer. I tried to arrange to have lunch with him later in life and couldn't. I didn't mind paying for his lunch... everyone eats, I wasn't trying to get anything out of him just reconnect with an old friend. Still, I have been banished from my friend's life simply because of his success. It hurts, and there's nothing I can do about it. Feels like a similar situation.
Jeff has the perfect backstory for becoming a super villain. Lost his wife, never met his father. Extremely rich.
Lol.
Well.....Amazon is choking out competition 🤷🏿♂️ There's still time lol
And he's a bald white American, rings a few bells
He's living the good life
He did met his father. He just doesn't remember him because he was only 4 at the time.
"I don't want a penny from him, i just wanna shake his hand and tell him hes done a really good job with his life"
Damn that's sad.. and he's passed away now. Poor guy had to die in regret. Seemed like a nice old man.
@Maverick if it wasn't for that abandoned he wouldn't be who he is now witch is the richest man in the world. Not saying is okay to walk out on your kids I'm just saying sometimes things happen for a reason.
@Maverick he didn't abandoned him his wife got custody
@Maverick there's actually many reasons someone would give up their kids. Sometimes pregnancy happens without planning, and the father or mother is in no position whatsoever to raise a child, I.e. if they're homeless themselves. Giving a child up for adoption is a significantly better route for the child as they get a chance at a good life. Jeff bezos was not "abandoned". There's a HUGE difference.
Maverick just out of curiosity, when you reply to Manofconstantsorrow, did you watch the entire video yet or not ? Because in the video already stated he lost the custody.
Maverick if his father took him than he would now run a bicycle shop instead of amazon, not to mention he would be poor asf
Never give up ur parental rights. No matter what. A child needs to know their biological parents
too bad this man didnt feel the need to keep half custody oh well too bad for him
at least he had a nice head of hair.

Rest in Peace to his biological father 🙏🏽💖🕊 the way he seemed, he was also a businessman, he's driven to his career. His words were simple, sincere, and meaningful.
But he could have visited his son
I grew up in Glendale AZ and visited his bike shop often. He was the nicest bike shop owner I have ever experienced even to this day. As a kid riding into his shop, if my brakes needed work, he would just show me how to fix it on the spot. He wasn't trying to just take your money. He really wanted to help kids and it showed. I know everyone in the community would agree. He was a successful man in my eyes. Crazy to find out all these years later, that he is Bezos' biological father.
@@michellegiles3421 how? he didn't even realize his son was Jeff Bezos and by then it would have been very hard to get in touch with him.

@@Islaview01 “give up” custody is just not fighting in court
@@david-468 that is correct, I think giving up, means done fighting for custody or he lost at court.

It's 2024, I found this heart wrenching video.
The saddest part about Ted's life is that he couldn't ever meet Jeff after he discovered his son and died with an unfulfilled desire. May god bless his soul!
Ted never got his wish to see his son again before he died in 2015 but in 2019 on his obituary Jeff commented I keep you in my heart

that’s probably because he had no idea who he was, and he always wanted to meet his son but he didn’t know who he was and he didn’t know anyway to contact him in anyway.

Gosh. It not like he dumped his kid. I think the guy will one day regret not seeing his dad when he had the chance.
mark Philpot I think he already does, just doesn’t realize it yet.
Yea sounds like the mom took him away pretty much. Step dad prob abused him too
2davivadiva how would u know ?
He never tried reaching out. Giving up custody is not the same thing as a restraining order. You people keep absolving this guy of responsibility. If he cared he wouldn't have totally abandoned his kid.
Didn't he pass away? It's too late for him.
2:02 SHADE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Jeff Jorgensen sounds like a better rich guy name to me
Thriving bike shop, nice house and married to a living wife and yet he “toiled away in obscurity?” 🤷🏽♂️
Wes B that’s how they see the rest of us. They don’t care about you or me or anyone.
Could be wrong but I don't think anyone actually saves for years to buy a bike. "Thriving" for that profession is maybe 20 customers a day.
@Alex Jay that wasn't the point. There's nothing wrong with it, but it's far from thriving. And that $50 is being very generous.
Ritz Crackar don’t forget accessories and repairs!!
@Alex Jay honest work, at least he's not putting small businesses out on the streets like his son :(
At least he is not the dad who went to buy milk and returned after 15 years.
That's exactly what it is
He is
Nah they white lol
@@woogoo400 Wrong. He never came back. He tried, but he didn't.
@Sovereign Boss lol ur a sovereign citizen
Shame on the person who says he lives in obscurity he lives a good life
poor guy, he rlly seemed like a sweet man.
Baldness came from the mom's side I supppose
LOL. God damnit just take my like already
I thought the same thing.
Actually that is a known genetic fact. The DNA marker for baldness is passed by the female side only. My family line has the same thing.
yes- specifically ur mothers father
🤣😱🤪😆 dude you crack me up
Besos sounds like he’s either a cruel mean human or a heartbroken son who felt abandoned by his father
I think that's where cruelty often crops up. From bitterness stemming from trauma. Letting it fester is on the individual though, always.
@networth assoc that’s what I was gonna say
He’s since adopted a different father. Not this man and certainly not the man his mother married. You guess...
He has no connection to this man. His father Miguel Bezos raised him.
Both
“Their son Jeff was born in 1964” CEO ENTREPRENEUR, BORN IN 1964, JEFFREY, JEFFREY BEZOS
Son was born in 1964
Me: singing CEO entrepenuer
"Toiled away in obscurity..." alrighty, fire the writer of that line. Extremely harsh and rude. Just because he didn't live the life of his son doesn't mean his life was meaningless.
DFH agreed completely. It was an unnecessary shot.
I immediately thought that line was unnecessary as well. To diminish 40 years of this guy's life just because we wasn't making headlines is just cruel.
To these people if your not constantly in the spotlight your irrelevant
DFH I completely agree. That was unnecessary garbage..
Lol crazy . Also his wife like if had been a garbage man would've been easier to contact him looool
The dad still has hair but the son is bald...
Fawk Yu hair genes run on the mothers side of fam 🤣🤣
He probably shaved his head jeff bezos
@@stanpeterson3944 Yes, he shaved it because he was balding. Look up videos of him in the late 90s when Amazon was a fledgling company. Unfortunately for Bezos, hair plugs didn't work for him like it did for Musk.
Baldness is mothers father.
Mike G
Nope. It’s a matter of which alleles you inherit which comes from either parent.
Downplaying his dad is not cool, fixing bikes is extremely beneficial to a lot of people and you should respect his life decisions. He’s not a billionaire, but he’s a real living person that looks happy.
ok "toiled away in obscurity for 40 years" is a bit of a stretch no?
Amazon is probably putting his store out of business.
So Amazon has started bike repair too wow that is amazing.
Oh shoot
@@redlinedynotuning654 no a$$hat but bike repair shops make most thier money selling parts and bicycles. The maintenance is a VERY small part it. If people buy parts and bikes off amazon and the only business this guy gets is only repairs he will be out of business quick
@@redlinedynotuning654 you support monopoly?
Hahaha
“They even share the same laugh”
*2 SUBSTANTIALLY DIFFERENT LAUGHS*
no, they have the same laugh its just that hes really old it sounds more different
@@user-jj3gq8yc1w yeah that villain laugh 😆
They sound very similar.
His laugh at the end, it was just a small laugh but the way they laugh and the expression is actually exactly the same. Didn’t expect that considering they didn’t grow up together.
🤣🤣🤣
That was uncalled for, he seemed like a very successful and happy man to me
1:22 "I immediately saw dollar signs appear out of thin air" is what he wanted to say 😂
The reporter or Ted? If you mean Ted then you need help, all Ted wanted was to see his son one last time before he died.
How did this guy waste his life? He probably enjoyed starting his own business, having a *successful* marriage, and raising his family. But he’s not a billionaire so he “wasted away his life in obscurity”. Tf?
The reporters disrespectful wording literally goes against himself because hes not a billionaire lmfao
I mean the same could be said for Jeff.
Due has a Xbox avatar as his profile pic 🤣
"Toiled" doesn't mean "wasted"
@@overlord5371 that literally has nothing to do with the comment
"toiled away in obscurity," i.e. normal people's lives
Ikr? XD
Obscurity = small business owner with a loving wife and nice home.....we shld all be so lucky
His wife looks GREAT!! Such a nice house, too. Grounded soul.
Imagine all the kids he’s help ride a bike? All the adults he helped find a new passion? All the college kids who got a reasonable commuter?
I'm toiling in obscurity too

This man abandoned his son. A real father fights to stay in his son's life. Really just looks like he wants to see Jeff now that he knows he's rich. No sympathy for him.
You do not compare wealth between father and son its the rudest thing to do ever!
Somewhere in alternate universe Jeff Bezo is still with his biological father and runs a family business- a bicycle shop.
Ashley C I absolutely agree!
I don't know why, but I really enjoyed this comment. It's such a beautiful and sweet thought. (I wonder if in my parallel universe, I dislike your comment.)
@@jameskelvin6720 😂😂😂😂
Alternate not parallel
And dreams every night that he is a multi-billionaire. And wonders where that dream is coming from.
When Jeff stated that he just thinks about him when a Doctor ask him to fill out a form is kinda Heartbreaking :(
Why should Jeff Bezos waste his time thinking about the man that abandoned him, especially when he already has a dad. HIs name is Mike Bezos..
heartbreaking how and why? his dad should have made the effort to find and meet his son whilst he was a young boy. why did he only remember that he had a son when he found out his son was rich??
@Nostradamus Good , Even i will have been the same .. And why is your nick nostradomus.. ?
Do you get dreams with future .. ? Or is it just a idol ..Or if you have it i can explain why it can happen to you Let me know
@@Myview246 the marriage broke-up, which means he most likely couldn't provide at the time so they divorced. Child custody, if you didn't know, is biased towards the mother most of the time. The idea that "he would be better off without me" is highly likely. Also, he was a circus performer, it's most likely that circus on the way out at the time of divorce, which made it tougher. Finally, a father never forgets about a son (unless they actually have brain issues like dementia). He was only informed that his son, with a different name, was a billionaire. He was already dying, so money doesn't exactly matter anymore when he found out. It's not like he was a drunkard, a criminal, a drug addict, a womanizer who was divorced 5 times or any of that sort (as far as it seems). Seemed like he made an honest living remarrying only once. If I was Jeff, I would at least hear his side, especially if I knew he was dying, cause it would most likely be the last time I would see him alive. For crying out loud, Jeff Bezos himself is also divorced.
Andre Why? He never abandoned him so shut up❤️
Ironically, there was an Amazon ad after this video played.
Not everyone wants to be a ceo
