Alphabet Inc. (GOOGL): One of the Premier Stock Picks of Jeff Bezos Usman Kabir Tue, June 2, 2026 at 12:13 AM GMT+7 2 min read GOOG AMZN We just covered the Jeff Bezos Stock Portfolio: Top 10 Stock Picks and Alphabet Inc. (NASDAQ:GOOGL) ranks 9th on this list.

Alphabet Inc. (NASDAQ:GOOGL) has had a historic and highly celebrated relationship with Jeff Bezos, originating well before the former transitioned into its modern holding company structure. In 1998, just four years after launching Amazon, Bezos aggressively negotiated with Google co-founders Larry Page and Sergey Brin to let him become one of the search engine’s earliest angel investors. Facilitated by board member Kavitark Ram Shriram, Bezos personally injected $250,000 into the fledgling startup while it was still operating out of a rented garage. That early check secured millions of shares at a split-adjusted cost of roughly four cents apiece. While it remains unknown exactly how much of his stake Bezos held following Google’s blockbuster 2004 initial public offering, the bet is widely regarded as one of the most successful venture capital placements in technology history.
