A video of the billionaire laughing during various interviews and appearances has gained almost 2 million views since it was posted on TikTok three days ago by an account called @ceo_jeff_bezos_official.
“Has Jeff Bezos’ laugh changed as he’s gotten richer?” asks the on-screen caption.
The compilation of Bezos clips was made by a YouTube user named Baris Aktas and first published in November 2020. It has been watched more than 3.8 million times on YouTube.
For TikTok viewers, however, what really stands out is how his laugh has become more intense over the years, with many likening him to a supervillain.
“What in the Dr. Evil is this?” asked one TikToker.
“Even his laugh sounds rich,” wrote another.
“Dude’s becoming a villain,” posted a third TikTok user.
Bezos’ laugh also caught the attention of the internet on July 20, when he returned from his space voyage. The 10-minute flight reached an altitude of around 66 miles, roughly 13 miles higher than Richard Branson’s Virgin Galactic trip nine days earlier.
After being asked in a post-flight press conference on July 20 if he wanted to explore the cosmos again, he responded, “Hell yes”—along with a huge cackle. Unsurprisingly, this inspired endless memes.
