On August 5, 2013, Jeff Bezos, the founder and owner of Amazon, began the process of acquiring the Washington Post news platform. The price was 250 million and the deal was officially completed on October 1 of that year. However, the staff composition of the newspaper's management did not change in any way with the acquisition, and Bezos continued to remain the director of Amazon, based in Seattle. A little later, Jeff Bezos revealed in an interview with Forbes magazine that he was initially not interested in buying the Post - the initial idea for the acquisition came from the head of Donald Graham, the son of journalist Katharine Graham.
