Reporting for Jury Duty: Jeff Bezos

Jeff Bezos traded boardrooms for a courthouse Monday in Miami, quietly showing up for jury duty at the Richard E. Gerstein Justice Building. The Amazon founder and Palmetto Senior High grad, dressed down in a black polo and jeans, briefly smiled and waved before getting into a waiting vehicle on his way home, reports the Miami Herald.

Bezos did not answer questions about last week's deadly crash of an Amazon cargo plane at Miami International Airport, after which Amazon suspended operations with carrier 21 Air. It's unclear whether the 62-year-old billionaire was ultimately selected for a jury; that information is confidential. For now, he's just another eligible citizen—over 18, speaks English, doesn't have disqualifying convictions, and has been a resident of Indian Creek Island since 2023, notes NBC Miami—answering a summons that typically pays Floridians $15 a day plus mileage.
