The Amazon CEO published his years letter earlier today, outlining the importance of having high standards according to a CNBC report. In the report Bezos, for the first time ever, disclosed that Amazon Prime membership now exceeds 100 million members worldwide. And in 2017 alone Amazon shipped over five billion items through it's Prime service.
