Want to know something interesting about Amazon? Even though it has existed since the 1990s and has been among the biggest e-commerce companies in the world for at least the past decade, it was not a profitable company until just a few years ago. In fact, it is still using those losses to not have to pay any taxes. And even though the vast majority of its revenue is derived from the retail business, most of its profit actually comes from the cloud computing business.
