In addition to Amazon, Bezos has diversified his portfolio through ventures such as Blue Origin, an aerospace manufacturer and spaceflight services company. His commitment to philanthropy is evident in initiatives like the Bezos Earth Fund, to which he pledged $10 billion to combat climate change.
On April 14, 2025, Blue Origin’s New Shepard NS-31 mission successfully launched from West Texas, marking a historic milestone as the first all-female crewed suborbital flight since 1963. The 11-minute journey reached an altitude of 107 km (66 miles), officially crossing the Kármán line, the recognized boundary of space. The crew included pop star Katy Perry, Jeff Bezos’ fiancée Lauren Sánchez, journalist Gayle King, civil rights activist Amanda Nguyen, former NASA rocket scientist Aisha Bowe, and film producer Kerianne Flynn .
